HATTIESBURG, Miss. – Charlotte baseball got off to a fast start on Wednesday afternoon but couldn’t keep the momentum going falling 7-5 to top-seeded Florida Atlantic in day one action at the 2016 Conference USA tournament. The 49ers will now face fifth-seeded Louisiana Tech in the first elimination game of the tournament at 9:00 a.m. central, 10:00 a.m. eastern on Thursday.
“Our tempo was not good today,” began Head Coach Loren Hibbs. “We were playing a lot slower than normal. We didn’t move around and play the type of defense we normally play and didn’t have the at-bats we needed to have.
