ELON, N.C. – Charlotte softball opened the season with a doubleheader sweep of Elon Friday afternoon at Hunt Softball Park. The Niners won game one 5-2 in extra innings, before coming from behind in the nightcap with a 6-3 victory.
Haley Pace delivered the game winning hit in both games for Charlotte (2-0), while Haley Wiseman and Carson Pace controlled the circle. Elon (0-2) mustered just one run in the 12 innings the duo tossed.
"Great way to open 2018," Head Coach Aimee DeVos said. "Always tough to open up on the road, but I was excited to see the team hold on and win game one in extra innings and come from behind in game two.
