Woodward back in old form
After being plagued by injuries last year, Coastal Carolina third baseman Scott Woodward is back to normal.
He’s hitting the ball, driving in runs, stealing bases and taking “one for the team” every once and awhile — like he did his freshman season.
After Tuesday’s 7-1 win over The Citadel, Woodward was batting .265 through 21 games. He has 18 hits in 68 at bats, with 13 runs batted in, a double and two home runs.
The 2007 Norwell graduate has walked 13 times, been hit by pitch 11 times, and has stolen 16 of 17 bases.
In the Chanticleer’s win on Tuesday, Woodward led off the fifth inning with his second home run.
Coastal Carolina (18-3) is slated to open a three-game series Friday night against San Diego.
