HEMPSTEAD, N.Y. (Interstat) — Tyler Cox drove in four runs, including a three-run double in the eighth inning, to power Hofstra to an 8-3 victory over College of Charleston in Colonial Athletic Association baseball Saturday.

The Pride, earning their first win of the season, erased an early three-run deficit. Cox’s two-run double in the third began the comeback before Daniel Escalante hit a two-run homer in the fifth to give Hofstra the lead for good.

Chris Bedford earned the win in relief, allowing two earned runs over 4 2/3 innings. The Cougars managed only seven hits after a two-run single by Ethan Plyler in the first inning.

Hofstra improved to 1-7 overall and in the CAA. College of Charleston fell to 6-8.
