The 49ers came into day two of the Citrus Classic seeking redemption from their disappointing 0-2 Friday performance. Backed by stellar pitching from Haley Wiseman and great days at the plate for Kiersten Berrier and Haley Pace, the Niners (14-6) defeated Purdue, 2-1 (3-15).
Wiseman started once again in the circle for the Charlotte team. The pitcher was on top of her game, striking out 12 batters, walking two while only allowing two hits during her seven-inning campaign.
Purdue got on the board early, scoring in the first inning after a 49er fielding error. The game remained 1-0 in favor of Purdue until the fourth inning.
