CHARLOTTE, N.C. -- Five University of North Carolina-Charlotte pitchers kept Arkansas' offense in check, and the 49ers took advantage of three errors in the bottom of the eighth inning to break open a tight game and post a 6-3 victory over the fourth-ranked Razorbacks at Hayes Stadium on Thursday night.
The victory marked the highest ranked team UNCC (12-8) has defeated at home, as former University of Arkansas, Fayetteville pitcher Jonah Patten, who pitched as a freshman for the Razorbacks in 2015, recorded the final three outs for the save.
"Our guys went out there and executed," said UNCC Coach Loren Hibbs, who is in his 26th season at the school.
