Big South Tournament
* USC Upstate 13, High Point 9 - The Spartans (35-23) turned the game around with a six-run sixth inning to advance to Saturday's championship round.

* Charleston Southern 13, Winthrop 12, 11 innings - The Buccaneers came from behind to tie the game five times, then won when A.J. Martin was hit by a pitch with the bases loaded to survive an elimination game against the Eagles (31-29). Jaylen Hernandez doubled and homered to drive in four runs for Winthrop.

* Charleston Southern 18, High Point 8 - Later Friday, Lew Rice drove in eight runs - including a grand slam in a four-run third inning - as the Buccaneers (31-21) rallied from a six-run first-inning deficit to reach the championship round on Saturday.
