MacIntosh's Second Consecutive Three-RBI Game Leads Baseball to a 10-5 Saturday Victory and a Sweep of Charleston Southern

SPARTANBURG, S.C. – Looking for its second sweep during Big South Conference play, USC Upstate baseball collected said sweep behind another double-digit scoring outburst as the Spartans outlasted Charleston Southern in a 10-5 victory Saturday afternoon at Cleveland S. Harley Park.
 
For the second straight game, Upstate pushed across a run in the first inning, posting a three-spot in the first. The three first-inning runs started a streak of three innings with a Spartan run as the team added three in the second and one in the third to build a 7-0 lead. The Buccaneers scored each of their five runs in the middle innings, tallying a run in the fourth, three in the fifth, and one in the sixth. Answering the five Charleston Southern runs, Upstate posted a third three-run inning in the sixth to end the game's scoring.
 
For the first time this season, senior second baseman Cameron MacIntosh posted back-to-back multi-RBI games, following up his three-RBI game from Friday with three more RBI Saturday to lead the Upstate offense. Freshman designated hitter Noah Sullivan paced a group of five multi-hit Spartans with a 3-for-3 day while collecting Upstate's other multi-RBI game.

Scoring Summary
  • B1: Following up a six-spot from yesterday's first inning, Upstate plated three runs in Saturday's first inning. The first run came in as Devin Buckner came around to score off a throwing error on an attempt to throw out Noah Myers on his bunt single. With Myers at second base, Noah Sullivan drove home the second run with a double to the gap in left-center before Noah Rabon brought home Sullivan with a groundout to the right side.
  • B2: Tacking on three more runs, the Spartans again put pressure on Charleston Southern with timely hits and aggressive baserunning. Easton Cullison came into score on a sacrifice fly from Buckner before a wild pitch on a strikeout allowed the second run to come into score. Sullivan provided the fireworks again in the second with his second two-bagger of the afternoon, driving home Myers from third.
  • B3: Behind the team's third RBI double of the day, Adam Grob drove home Upstate's lone run of the third as he doubled off the wall in centerfield as Cullison raced in from second following a double of his own.
  • T4: Charleston Southern got itself on the board in the fourth as Ryan Waldschmidt homered to left.
  • T5: With the bases loaded, the Buccaneers pushed across their second run of the game on a wild pitch before a sac fly from Waldschmidt brought home the second run of the fifth inning. Tyrell Brewer drove in the final run of the frame with a single down the leftfield line before being gunned down at second base attempting to leg out a double.
  • T6: Employing a safety squeeze with a runner at third, Peyton Basler reached with a bunt single as Peyton Mills came down the line to score the final run of the day for Charleston Southern.
  • B6: Stepping to the plate with the bases loaded, Cameron MacIntosh tripled to right-center, clearing the bases and collecting his second consecutive three-RBI game.
 
Notable
  • Going 3-for-3 with two doubles and reaching in all four of his plate appearances, Noah Sullivan increased his reached base streak to 20 games. His streak is the longest by a Spartan since Julian Rip closed the 2021 season with a 20-game reached base streak.
  • With three hits, Sullivan collected his team-leading 18th multi-hit game of the season. During the Charleston Southern series, he picked up multiple hits in all three games.
  • Legging out six doubles, Saturday's game marked the second game this season for the Spartans with a season-high six doubles, joining the Kennesaw State game from March 29. Sullivan and Easton Cullison each produced a two-double game, giving Upstate seven individual two-double games this season.
  • Throughout the Charleston Southern series, the Spartans swiped 10 total bases over 11 attempts. The 10 steals marked the most in a single season for Upstate this season.
