CHARLOTTE, N.C. – Two runs in the top of the ninth combined with a trio of Charlotte 49ers tossing a three-hit shutout, all added up to a 2-0 road victory at #8 East Carolina on Friday night. The victory gives Charlotte their first-ever two-win season against top-ten opponents, all while ending the Pirates 10-game overall and seven-game home winning streaks.
Charlotte (10-4) cranked out 10 of the 13 hits on Friday finally breaking through in the ninth, but it was pitching the led the way. Starter Colton Laws, who tied or set multiple career highs last week in a 2-1 win over Xavier, did the same on Friday going the first 7.
