Palmetto State Baseball team of the week, Feb. 16-22: Charleston Southern


Charleston Southern (4-0 for the week)
(beat North Florida, went 3-0 vs. Elon)

In its 60th baseball season, Charleston Southern is in an unprecedented location.

The two wins over Elon on Sunday moved the Buccaneers to 7-0 to start the season for the first time in program history.

In his first season a year ago,Coach Karl Kuhn guided CSU to its first winning season since 1996. Now, the first back-to-back winning seasons since the 1980s look like a reasonable goal as the season progresses.

Up next: at home vs. UNCW, Tuesday.
