CHARLESTON, S.C. - Charleston Southern's Tory Schroff finished off Friday night's continued game with eight innings of shutout work to lift the Bucs to a 1-0 win in the opener of a Big South doubleheader on Saturday against Presbyterian. PC took game two, 8-4, as the Bucs played a complete game under their new lights for the first time.

Schroff (WP, 5-2) seemed to preserve the momentum from an electric atmosphere on Friday night to give the Bucs their first shutout of the season. He recorded the final 25 outs after starter Ryan Gunther pitched to two batters before storms set in on Friday.

"Tory Schroff was dominant," CSU head coach Stuart Lake said of his starter following the weekend opening win. "I'm thrilled for him to get the win after what he has given us at times when he hasn't won. He also gave us the win coming off of that first night game, even though it finished during the day, but it was a good start. "

The Bucs move to 16-23 overall and 6-8 Big South play, while PC is now 21-19 and 8-6. The two teams meet again on Sunday at 2 p.m. in a pivotal series finale.
