Derek Bender singled, homered and drove in three runs as Coastal Carolina clinched its 15th consecutive Sun Belt Conference series victory ... Jack Mahoney pitched seven shutout innings as South Carolina snapped a four-game SEC losing streak ... Sawyer Reeves doubled, homered, stole a base and drove in four runs as The Citadel evened its SoCon series at Western Carolina ... Evan Truitt pitched five innings in relief and Charleston Southern hit four home runs to snap a four-game losing streak and even its series with USC Upstate ... UNCW evened its CAA series at College of Charleston behind a three-run sixth and two-run seventh ... Brody Hopkins' leadoff homer in the first was all Winthrop could muster in having its eight-game Big South Conference winning streak snapped ...  Mercer hit five home runs and clinched a series win over Wofford in a back-and-forth game ... A four-run seventh in Game 2 allowed Presbyterian to split a conference doubleheader, ending a seven-game losing streak.
