Team of the week, March 23-29: Winthrop

Winthrop (went 4-0)
(beat Davidson; went 3-0 vs. Charleston Southern)

Midway through Sunday's Big South Conference series finale, the Eagles' five-game winning streak and perfect league mark appeared in jeopardy. They trailed Charleston Southern, 4-0, and had been held to two hits.

Then things picked up.

Winthrop scored single ruins in the sixth and seventh, got a game-tying homer from Corey Wouters in the eighth and completed the comeback with a run in the 10th to stretch the streak to six.

The Eagles have won 10 of 11 since a 10-6 start. They've scored 10 or more ruins five time and held opponents to two or fewer runs four times.

Up next: at home Tuesday vs. College of Charleston

Corey Wouters produced some late heroics to help
the Eagles win their sixth straight. (Winthrop photo)

Player of the day: Corey Wouters, Winthrop 2-4, HR, SF, 4 RBI

* Briefly: Corey Wouters tied the game with a two-run homer in the eighth and delivered a game-winning sacrifice fly in the 10th as Winthrop (21-7, 6-0 Big South) completed a sweep of Charleston Southern (17-10, 2-4) with a walk-off. The Eagles, who trailed 4-0 early, have won six straight and 10 of 11 ... Jordan Taylor's second sacrifice fly of the game put No. 15 Coastal Carolina (20-7, 9-0 Sun Belt) ahead in the 10th inning and the Chanticleers held on to complete a sweep of Marshall (13-13, 5-4). The Thundering Herd tied the game in the ninth inning, but Taylor helped the Chants extend their wining streak against Sun Belt competition to 31 games ... Hunter Herndon broke a tie with a two-run single in the seventh inning as Wofford (19-9, 3-0 SoCon) completed a sweep of UNC Greensboro (12-17, 1-5) ... South Carolina's (13-16, 1-8 SEC) offense came to life, but the bullpen struggled and No. 7 Georgia (23-6, 7-2) rallied from four runs down to complete the series sweep ... Gaston College (35-3, 15-3 Region 10) scored single runs in the eighth and ninth innings to knock Florence-Darlington Tech (32-8, 13-5) two games back in the standings with 12 region games remaining ... Benedict (15-8, 13-8 SIAC) had 13 hits, drew 11 walks and stole nine bases to complete a home sweep of Morehouse (14-13, 11-8) ... Walker Fox had four hits and drove in seven runs as Western Carolina (18-11, 3-3 SoCon) salvaged the final game at The Citadel (12-14, 3-3) ... Yariel Diaz was 5-for-5 with four doubles as USC Aiken (25-9, 13-5, Peach Belt) wrapped up a sweep of Claflin (3-23, 0-18) with its third straight run-rule win ... A 10-run third inning and 11 walks helped Lander (20-14, 13-8 Peach Belt) run-rule Georgia Southwestern (18-17, 11-7) ... USC Sumter (23-11, 11-6 Region 10) and USC Union (20-16, 5-12) swapped nine-run innings, but the Fire Ants had better additional support to take the decisive game of the series. Ryan Piekutoski hit two of the Fire Ants' five home runs ... Ayden Ray drove in eight runs with 2 singles and 2 doubles as USC Lancaster (20-16, 7-10 Region 10) completed a sweep of USC Salkehatchie (3-33, 1-16) with a run-rule verdict. Ray also stole a base ... A ninth-inning sacrifice fly lifted Campbell (18-9, 11-1 CAA) to a series sweep of College of Charleston (10-17, 5-7) ... Coleman McGinnis hit a grand slam in the fourth and UNC Asheville (14-14, 2-4 Big South) avoided a sweep at USC Upstate (14-15, 5-4) ... Columbus State (20-10, 13-5 Peach Belt) and USC Beaufort (7-25, 2-19) both had nine hits, but the Cougars got much better production to win the final game of the series ... Samford (12-14) took the rubber game of its nonconference series with Presbyterian (5-24) by shutout.
