MT returns to action for season finale Sunday
Â
Game 1: MT 6, CHA 7
Â
The Blue Raiders (19-29, 6-17) struck first in the opening game with a pair of runs in the first inning when Morgan Harris connected on her second home run of the season to drive in Summer Burgess.
Â
The 49ers (28-22, 10-12) answered with three runs in the home-half of the first, before Kirstyn Cuccia sent a solo shot down the right field line to knot the score at 3-3.
Â
Charlotte would answer once more with a pair of runs in the fourth and sixth innings to claim a 7-3 lead. The Blue Raiders mustered one final effort in the top of the seventh. With the bases loaded, Kaylyn Slatter hit-by-pitch and Austyn Whaley walked cut the deficit to 7-5, and a Dani Munoz fielder's choice drove in another run.
Â
Charlotte would silence the rally, however, with one final out and claim game one 7-6.
Â
Game 2: MT 6, CHA 8
Â
The 49ers carried its game one momentum into the latter half of the twin bill and built a quick 3-0 lead after the first inning.
Â
Middle Tennessee closed the gap, with a run in the second and a pair of runs in the third inning. Charlotte, however, answered every MT run and built an 8-5 lead in the fifth inning.
Â
The Blue Raiders attempted one final comeback when Whaley drove in Precious Birdsong in the sixth inning, but came no closer as the Niners took the game 8-6 to claim the series.
Â
Miscues plagued the Blue Raiders as MT was guilty of 3 fielding errors and stranded nine base runners.
Â
Despite the early struggles, Megan Chocallo limited the 49ers in two innings pitched.
Â
Birdsong continued her hot hitting as the junior went 2-for-2 at the plate with a pair of RBI and a run scored.
Â
The Blue Raiders seek to bounce back in its season finale tomorrow afternoon at 11 a.m.
