Top Performers: Week 14

College of Charleston's Eric Bauer set a school record with a 10-inning relief performance in College of Charleston’s 23-inning walk-off win against William & Mary on Friday night. The game tied the second-longest contest in NCAA history. A sophomore from Longwood, Fla., Bauer picked up his fifth win of the season by showing incredible toughness out of the bullpen in a game that last 6 hours and 3 minutes -- also a school record. He came out of the bullpen in the 14th inning and lasted the remainder of the game, scattering five hits while striking out five batters with no walks. He allowed just one run in the 20th inning, but CofC equalized in the bottom half of the frame to keep the game going and set up Morgan Phillips’ game-winner in the 23rd inning. Bauer also pitched an inning of relief in CofC’s 11-10 win in 12 innings on Tuesday night against Coastal Carolina.
