The Terriers took advantage of seven walks and four hit batsmen to hand CSU its first home loss of the season.

Starter Jessie Morris (WP, 2-1) worked five innings, surrendering runs in only the fourth inning, when the Bucs rallied from a 3-0 deficit to take a brief lead. Carson Waln's RBI on being hit by a pitch in the fifth broke a 4-4 tie and gave Wofford the lead for good. The Terriers stole seven bases in the win.

Senior Alex Tomasovich's double got the scoring started with a double off the wall in left center to score Sam Remick. He scored on a Bobby Ison single to cut the lead to 3-1. Chase Shelton followed with an infield single and Nick Berry cleared the bases with a double down the left field line to plate the Bucs final two runs.
