4/6/2023 9:17:00 PM | Softball
CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Middle Tennessee softball dropped both games in a doubleheader at Charlotte today.
Â
Game 1, MTSU 2 – Charlotte 4
Â
Charlotte got ahead early with a leadoff home run to start the game. In the top of the second, Shelby Sargent continued to swing the bat well with another base-hit to give the Blue Raiders their first baserunner.
Â
In the second inning, Charlotte hit another home run this time for three runs. The Blue Raiders had an opportunity after a leadoff single by Ansley Blevins in the top of the third inning but nothing to show for it.
Â
Kamryn Carcich slammed the door on Charlotte in the fourth inning with a strikeout that left two runners on-base to keep the 49ers lead at four. The Blue Raiders came up empty again in the top of fifth after base-hits by Shelby Echols and Laura Mealer.
Â
Amaya Harris started off the seventh inning with a single and moved to second off another single from Laura Mealer. The Blue Raiders cut the lead in half after an RBI single from Anyce Harvey.
Â
The late game rally came up short and MTSU dropped game one 4-2.
Â
Game 2, MTSU 5 – Charlotte 9
Â
Shelby Echols started off the top of the first with a single to give the Blue Raiders an early baserunner. The 49ers had their share of baserunners as well in the first inning and a three-run home run.Â
Â
Shelby Sargent recorded another hit in the top of the second to extend her hitting streak to four games. Ansley Blevins then delivered the two-run home run to cut the lead in half going into the third inning.
Â
Laura Mealer then tied the game up in the third inning with a home run of her own. Mealer's two-run home run to center field is her seventh of the season and caused Charlotte to make a change in the circle.
Â
The 49ers threatened to take the lead in the bottom of the third with two outs after a double off the wall. Kamryn Carcich was able to get out of the inning scoreless leaving two runners on-base.
Â
Charlotte took over the lead in the bottom of the fourth after a double off the wall and a RBI single. Later on in the inning, the 49ers hit another home run to add two more and extend its lead to three. The Blue Raiders answered with a run of their own in the top of the fifth off a RBI single from Anyce Harvey.
Â
In the bottom of the sixth, Charlotte's Lexi Winter's hit her third home run of the game for her seventh RBI and to extend the 49ers lead to 9-5.

7: Home runs combined from both teams in two games today.
Â
Quote from Head Coach Jeff Breeden
