Wofford Baseball Ties Program Record in 29-7 Victory

Terriers match single-game runs record that was set earlier this season

CHARLESTON, S.C. – There was no shortage of fireworks Tuesday evening at Nielsen Field as the Wofford baseball team compiled 29 runs on 22 hits to defeat Charleston Southern 29-7 in seven innings. The Terriers improve to 18-8 on the season with the Buccaneers falling to 12-17.
 
Those 29 runs match the single-game program record that was set earlier this season against Fordham, a 29-3 triumph.
 
Mike Eggert (5-2) earned the win in relief for Wofford after tossing 2.0 innings with a run allowed on three hits. Eggert walked no one while striking out three. Alec Bouchard started and threw a career-high 3.0 innings with just one run on one hit and one walk. He struck out three to match his career best. John Gray and Champ Davis each pitched an inning in the contest.
 
Buccaneer starter Zac Robinson (1-1) suffered the loss after allowing seven runs on six hits and a walk without getting a single out.
 
The Wofford offense fired on all cylinders, notching 22 hits while also taking advantage of plenty of Buccaneer miscues. The Terriers drew 10 walks with seven batters hit by pitches. Ten different Terriers recorded a hit with seven of them owning multiple. Five totaled three hits. Tyler Bak put forth a career day with three hits and a career-high seven RBI. Bak also swiped a base. Marshal Toole drove home four runs with his three knocks, which included a triple and a home run. He was a double shy of the cycle. Toole's four RBI tie his career high. His on-base streak has stretched to 26 games in a row.
 
Dixon Black and Brice Martinez each drove home two runs, and Jack Renwick plated three with his three hits. Renwick is now two hits shy of joining the 200 career hits club. Martinez added a homer, a solo shot like Toole's. Though hitless, Tyler Hare and Lucas Manning were not estranged to the basepaths as they recorded four and three walks, respectively. Hare's four free passes tie for second most in a game in program history, one short of the record of five set in 2009 by Mike McDonnell. Hare is the first Terrier with four walks in a contest since Gunnar Johnson was walked four times at Presbyterian last March.
 
Andrew Mannelly and Daniel Jackson each tallied a pair of hits. Jackson drove in two runs with Mannelly knocking home one. A few hitters contributed off the bench as well. Adam Haber, Carter Hanson and Ryan Wynn all notched a hit off the bench. Haber drove home a pair of runs.
 
The Terriers wasted no time getting on the board, plating seven runs in the first inning. Marshall Toole began the barrage by clobbering the second pitch of the ballgame for a solo shot. Four-straight singles followed to score two more, and a hit batsman loaded the bases. A balk brought home one more run thereafter, and Tyler Bak dropped a single into shallow left to score two more. The first out of the inning did not come until the ninth batter on a sacrifice bunt, and Toole followed up with one of his own to plate the seventh run. In all, 11 batters came to the plate for Wofford to provide an early 7-0 advantage.
 
Wofford kept its foot on the gas in the second, adding four more. A passed ball with the bases loaded plated a run, and Lucas Manning's walk reloaded the bags for Bak, who cleared them with his three-run double. The Terriers led 11-0.
 
Charleston Southern cracked onto the board in the bottom of the second with a solo homer, making the score 11-1.
 
But the Terriers got that run back and then some in the third. Dixon Black doubled home a run, and he would score on a passed ball. Brice Martinez then launched a solo homer, making the score 14-1.
 
Another crooked number went onto the scoreboard in the top of the fourth with 10 Terrier runs. Andrew Mannelly lifted a sacrifice fly to kick things off. Daniel Jackson and Tyler Hare worked back-to-back bases-loaded walks before a wild pitch brought in one more. Bak was hit with a pitch with the bases loaded, and Jack Renwick singled home two more. Toole drove in two with a triple, and another scored with Black's RBI single. Wofford had pushed its lead to 24-1.
 
Charleston Southern added a run with a single in the fourth, but Wofford continued to respond and then some in the top of the fifth. Bak drew a walk with the bases juiced. Back-to-back singles by Renwick and Adam Haber drove in one and two runs, respectively, to extend the lead to 28-2.
 
After holding Wofford scoreless for the first and only time in the contest in the top of the sixth, the Buccaneers plated a pair in the bottom of the frame to make the score 28-4.
 
But in the top of the seventh, the Terriers returned to their ways of responding. A fielding error allowed a run to score, Wofford's 29th to match its single-game record. Charleston Southern would push three across in the bottom of the frame, but Champ Davis secured the final outs to close out the contest and seal Wofford's run-rule 29-7 victory.
 
Wofford returns to action tomorrow night for the final contest of the six-game road swing. The Terriers will face former SoCon foe Elon for the first time since the Phoenix departed the conference after the 2014 season. First pitch is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
