Jenks Homers In Hofstra Loss At Charleston

Mt. Pleasant, SC - Trent Jenks homered and was one of five Hofstra players with two hits, but Charleston used a seven-run seventh inning to erase a 3-1 deficit and went on to post an 11-4 victory Thursday in the opening game of a Coastal Athletic Association series at Patriots Point. 

Hofstra dropped to 17-35 overall and 7-18 in league play with the loss and saw its three-game winning streak halted. Charleston, which clinched a CAA Championship berth with the win, improved to 33-19 overall and 14-11 in conference play. 

The Cougars scored a run in the first as Dariyan Pendergrass led off with a single, stole second and third, and came in on a single from Will Baumhofer. The Pride responded with three runs in the fifth. Jenks and Nick Biddle singled, and Dylan Palmer hit an opposite field RBI single to drive in one. Michael Brown drove in a run on an error, and with the bases loaded, Tyler Castrataro drove in a run on a fielder's choice. 

Charleston would send 12 batters to the plate in the seventh to take control of the game. Pendergrass drove in a run with a fielder's choice, while Landon Penfield knocked in two runs with a double. Avery Neaves added a two-run single, while two more came in on a single from Ben Venables. 

Jenks homered to left field in the eighth to make it an 8-4 game. The Cougars would add three more runs in the bottom of the frame to close the scoring. Penfield had a two-run home run, while Tyler Sorrentino doubled in the final run. 

Hofstra starter Tristan Nemjo turned in another solid start, allowing a run on four hits over five innings. Reliever Brayden Gregg (2-5) took the loss after allowing six runs (four earned) on four hits over 1 ⅓ innings. 

Jenks scored two runs and was joined in having multiple hits by Palmer, Biddle, Luke Masiuk, and Nick Gallello. 

Alex Lyon (9-1) earned the win in relief, while Davis Aiken picked up his 12th save. 

The teams continue the series Friday with a 4 p.m. start.
