Tournament note: In the Elon-College of Charleston elimination game, Elon pitchers Jordan Barrett and George Kirby threw a combined no-hitter, the first no-hitter in CAA tournament history.[5] Elon lost the game, however, after Charleston scored the game's only run in the fifth inning without getting a hit.
