Mt, Pleasant, S.C. - With 28th-ranked Western Carolina holding a 3-0 lead, game one of the Catamounts' game at the College of Charleston was suspended in the top of the seventh due to lightening and heavy rain. The two teams will complete the contest, with one out and 3-1 count to Rod Goldston, on Saturday at 4 pm. Game two of the series will begin approximately 30 minutes after the completion of game one.
The Catamounts took an early 3-0 lead in the top of the first. Todd Roper started the game down early with an 0-2 count, but worked a walk. After a groundout put Roper on second, Alan Beck delivered an RBI single to right-center field. Beck and Todd Buchanan, who singled, stole third and second, respectively, then scored on a Goldston single to right.
The rain will end the work of senior Ryan Basner, who was having perhaps his best outing of the season. Through six complete innings, the right-hander had only allowed two hits (an bloop single just over the shortstop's head and an infield single to third) and one walk while striking out five.
Offensively for the Cats, Buchanan, Chris Davis and Denver Edick each had two hits.
