After adverse weather throughout the weekend, Charlotte wrapped up the First Pitch Classic with a game against Winthrop on Monday, Feb 25.
Charlotte was coming off of a doubleheader on Sunday, Feb. 23 that saw a tale of two tapes where they both won and lost 9-1 in five innings. The Niners looked at Monday as a way to get back on track but as the game got underway, it looked as if Sunday’s second game struggles were going to continue.
Winthrop started out strong with a couple hits in the first inning that led to an RBI single for Brooke Ellison that allowed Ashley Westbrooks to score, putting Charlotte behind 0-1.
