49ers fall to MTSU after a long weekend
Game 1: 5-6
In an 11-inning thriller, the 49ers took the fall to the MTSU Raiders. It was a rollercoaster of lead changes and ties, as well as the longest game since 2011.
Charlotte took the lead early with an RBI single from Bailey Vannoy. The Blue Raiders tied in the fourth but two runs from the Niners put them on top again, 3-1.
Back to back homers from MTSU gave them the lead 4-3. An RBI triple from Kiersten Berrier in the sixth led to another tied score.
Charlotte had the bases loaded in the bottom of the ninth and couldn’t get anyone in to score, which called for leaving three girls on base.
