CHARLOTTE, N.C. – FIU tallied five over the first three innings and added five more for insurance in the ninth to score a 12-6 victory over Charlotte on Saturday afternoon. The Panthers out-hit the Niners 15-10 and took advantage of three 49ers errors during the win.
"We played uphill from the very first pitch," stated Head Coach Loren Hibbs. "We've got to be a lot more efficient, a lot of more sound with our pitching and defense. It wasn't a good enough performance today. Every single game is important and the difference in this league in finishing inside the top three or outside the top eight is just a few games here and there.
