CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte 49ers were selected sixth in the annual Conference USA baseball coaches poll announced by league officials on Thursday afternoon. Thursday marks the third-straight year the Niners have been picked to finish sixth in the league during the preseason, only to finish in a higher spot at the conclusion of the regular season. In both of the previous pair of season, the 49ers finished third in the C-USA tournament, one game shy of the championship game.
"We are looking to build on the momentum created over the past two years," began Head Coach Loren Hibbs.
