Florida Atlantic baseball dropped 2-of-3 games against the Charlotte 49ers in a series that saw 57 total runs cross home plate.
FAU’s (23-6, 9-3 C-USA) pitching staff came into the weekend with the seventh lowest ERA in the country. However, it allowed 27 runs this weekend after allowing 27 runs in its previous 11 games combined.
“That’s a pretty good hitting team,” head coach John McCormack said of Charlotte. “I thought that they were going to have a really good year, be an impressive team in the league … it looks that way.”
Senior pitcher Brandon Rhodes gave up the first six Charlotte (15-19, 5-7 C-USA) runs of the weekend in less than five innings of work on Friday.
