WKU rallies past Charlotte in slugfest

The Western Kentucky baseball team keeps rolling along, completing a three-game sweep of Charlotte with a 14-10 win on Sunday at Nick Denes Field.

Charlotte blasted six home runs, but WKU (25-20 overall, 10-11 Conference USA) was able to counter the power surge with a huge seventh inning to secure a third straight conference series and back-to-back series sweeps.

It’s the first time WKU has earned back-to-back sweeps in Conference USA play. The last time the Hilltoppers swept back-to-back series was in the Sun Belt Conference in 2010.

“You take it,” WKU coach Marc Rardin said.
