Charlotte allowed three runs in the first inning and could not bounce back as the Niners were shutout by the Virginia Cavaliers 6-0 at home. The 49ers softball team (8-12, 1-2 C-USA) has now lost three games in a row.
Charlotte failed to record a hit through the first four innings but managed to get on base through walks and errors. The 49ers’ lone hit came in the bottom of the fifth inning with two outs when Spenser Gray hit a triple that bounced off the back wall. With a chance to score the first run of the game for the Niners, the next batter struck out swinging, which ended the inning.
