The Charlotte 49ers (19-27, 8-14 C-USA) dropped the Conference USA (C-USA) weekend opener to the Old Dominion Monarchs 8-6 despite coming back from a four-run deficit and piecing together another 10-hit performance.
Colton Laws allowed four runs on five hits in just 1.2 innings on the mound for Charlotte in his first Friday start of his collegiate career, needing help right out of the gate from his offense.
After giving up two runs in the first inning and two in the second, the 49ers gave the Monarchs (28-17, 11-11 C-USA) a taste of their own medicine, scoring two runs in the second and third inning to tie it up at four.
