The 49ers offense continued their momentum from this past weekend by racking up 12 hits during the game, including two each from Emma Ocker, Bailey Rhoney and Haley Pace.
Lexi Betancourt was in the circle for Charlotte and pitched all eight innings, but gave up twelve hits and five walks while only recording two strikeouts.
