Wofford rolls past The Citadel 12-4 in SoCon baseball tournament
GREENVILLE, S.C. (Wofford SID) – The No. 7 Wofford baseball team earned a 12-4 victory Thursday night at Fluor Field as Kenny Michaels shoved in a complete game gem over No. 3 The Citadel. Wofford improves to 33-25 as the Terriers advance in the Southern Conference Championship presented by Holston Gases. The Bulldogs drop to 30-25. Kenny Michaels (5-3) secured the win as he pitched a complete game, the first by a Terrier since Matthew Marchal in 2023 against UNCG, also in the SoCon Tournament. Over his 9.0 innings, Michaels struck out five while allowing four runs on seven hits and two walks. Andrew Stanely (5-3) took the loss for The Citadel as the starter. He tossed 3.1 innings with four runs (three earned) on four hits and three walks. The Terriers posted a 16-7 hits advantage, led by Tanner Hardin and Cade Collins with three each. The three base knocks are a career high for Collins, who added four RBI for his first-career multi-RBI effort. Hardin tallied one RBI. The quartet of Niko Brini, Tyler Bak, Andrew Mannelly, and Lucas Manning all collected two hits. Brini posted four RBI as Bak, Mannelly, and Tyler Hare each posted one. Brini, Hardin, Manning, and Collins all notched doubles. Bak swiped Wofford's lone steal in the contest. With two walks and a hit by pitch, Mannelly reached safely all five times he stepped to the plate. The Terriers struck first in the top of the first. Ryan Wynn walked and advanced when a pick-off throw got away. From there he scored when Tanner Hardin dropped a double into right center, giving Wofford a quick 1-0 lead. Wofford tacked on one more in the second. A walk and hit by pitch put two on for Niko Brini, whose single plated one to double to margin to 2-0. The lead doubled once more in the fourth. Andrew Mannelly walked, and Lucas Manning doubled to put two in scoring position. Cade Collins then smacked his own double to left center that plated both runners for a 4-0 advantage. The Citadel cracked onto the board in the bottom of the fifth with a trio of runs. A two-run double opened the scoring for the Bulldogs, and a sacrifice squeeze bunt pushed across another. However, the damage was limited when a heads-up throw by Tyler Hare to Collins at third caught a Bulldog too far off the base to close the inning, but The Citadel was within 4-3. In the top of the sixth, Wofford got all three of those runs back. A hit batsman and two singles loaded the bases for Brini, who delivered a bases-clearing double to right center. Wofford's lead stood at 7-3. Four more crossed the plate in the top of the seventh for the Terriers. Hare and Mannelly hit back-to-back RBI singles before Collins brought in two with his single. Wofford led 11-3 at stretch time. An RBI single by Tyler Bak in the top of the eighth stretched the margin to nine runs at 12-3. The Citadel added a solo homer in the bottom of the ninth, but it was all they could scratch across. Kenny Michaels held firm to polish off the complete game and secure the 12-4 Terrier victory. Wofford advances to face No. 2 Samford tomorrow afternoon at 12:30 p.m. in a rematch of last season's SoCon Championship Final. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.

Caitlin Clark's Boyfriend Has 2-Word Reaction to Major Iowa News
Although they may no longer be a part of their respective Hawkeye programs, both Caitlin Clark and her boyfriend Connor McCaffrey keep close tabs on the happenings around Iowa City. While the past few months have been McCaffrey's time to shine as he joined Butler's coaching staff as an assistant, Saturday will mark the start of Clark's time to shine. One year after winning WNBA Rookie of the Year, her second season with the Indiana Fever will tip off against Angel Reese and the Chicago Sky on Saturday. Advertisement With McCaffrey presumably ready to cheer on Clark, he also made sure to shout out one of his former teammates, Austin Ash, who is also getting into coaching post-basketball. The former Iowa and Citadel hooper was named the head coach at Earlham High School in Iowa, which led to McCaffrey writing "Let's go 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏." Connor McCaffrey's post about Austin Ash played four of his five college basketball seasons at Iowa before transferring to The Citadel. He and McCaffrey, who played six years of college basketball at Iowa, played on three NCAA Tournament teams together, advancing to the second round twice. Across his five college basketball seasons, Ash averaged 7.4 points, 2.2 rebounds and 0.9 assists per game, with his best season coming in his lone season at The Citadel, where he averaged 15.2 points per game.

Like father, like son
CHARLESTON, S.C. (WCBD) – in 1990 Phil Tobin played shortstop on The Citadel's baseball team that made it all the way to the College World Series. 'Heck I don't even remember it it happened so fast, feels like we touched down, played three games and we were back in the sky coming home. But just a cool experience still.' Three and a half decades later, youngest son Lane is a starting infielder on this years Bulldogs squad. 'Got injured at the beginning of the season. So getting to come back and play it's been really fun with these guys and this group of people and makes you want to win with them,' said Lane. As the son of a Citadel grad, Lane grew up going to the Joe to cheer on the Dogs. Not heavily recruited out of Summerville HS, his collegiate career began at USC Sumter. 'I've always wanted this so trying to get on the right track trying to win some baseball games. So always wanting to be here, just want to get [us] back on the right track.' 'Just a proud moment first time I saw him in a Bulldog uniform. Just sitting up in the stands being dad and I really enjoyed that,' said Lane's dad Phil. A high school assistant for many years, Phil turned down a coaching job because Lane wanted him to be around, to be at all of his games Just so happens Phil now has one of the best seats in the house. 'Coming back here putting that uniform on again after heck 35 years and then walking in that dugout watching these kids play, we have a special group of kids here.' The eldest Tobin is now an assistant on Russell Triplett's staff and serves as The Citadel's first base coach. 'Once we leave the field its father, son. But when we're in the lines it's coach, player. There's a good dynamic there and we like to keep it a little equal,' Lane said. Phil was at The Citadel first. His son helped him return. Following in his dad foot-steps, Lane is making Phil proud whether at home or at the park. As he brings back memories from the number they both share on their back. 'I get a lot of messages from my buddies, my teammates from back then. And its always number one. We see number one doing this, number one doing that. It's pretty cool, I'd be lying if I said it didn't put a smile on my face,' Phil Tobin said. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved.
