Cougar Baseball celebrates after a big win
No. 16 College of Charleston will take on No. 10 Texas Tech in the NCAA Super Regionals this weekend in Lubbock, Texas. The Cougars and Red Raiders will play a best-of-three series for a chance to advance to the College World Series.
Play hasn’t even started, but the Cougars have taken the national stage. The team reentered the national rankings this week when they were picked 16th in the Collegiate Baseball Poll. Freshman Bailey Ober was named a Louisville Slugger All-American, and earned a USA Baseball tryout. Former Cougar and current New York Yankees outfielder Brett Gardner sent his congratulations.
An Associated Press article on the team has been published by hundreds of media outlets, including USA Today.
