Charlotte (27-20, 13-10 C-USA) continued their late season hot streak against WKU (21-26. 11-13 C-USA). The three-game series started off with a low-scoring affair and ended with an intense slug-fest.
Game 1: Charlotte 4, WKU 2
Game 1 was the quietest of the three games offensively, thanks to Charlotte’s senior pitcher Josh Maciejewski’s 8.2 inning performance. He earned his seventh win of the season and help the 49ers secure the first victory of the contest.
Very little action occurred during the first two innings. WKU struck first when a Luke Brown bunt followed by a walk allowed a sac fly by Jacob Rhinesmith to bring in the first run.
