ELON, N.C. — The Elon Phoenix rallied from a pair of six-run deficits and walked off with a 12-11 win in the 1tth inning to clinch the weekend series against College of Charleston on Saturday afternoon in Colonial Athletic Association play.
HOW IT HAPPENED
The Cougars took an early 4-0 lead in the fourth inning on an RBI single by Tanner Steffy and a three-run homer by Landon Choboy.
