Charlotte Kicks Off Conference Action this Weekend with Doubleheader against Dayton

March 21, 2008

Charlotte, N.C. - The Charlotte 49ers softball team commence their Atlantic 10 regular season slate Saturday when they host a doubleheader against Dayton at the D.L. Phillips Softball Complex at noon. The 49ers, who are currently enjoying the second-best winning percentage in the league, enter the weekend with a 15-16 record.

Charlotte and Dayton last met for a doubleheader last season (May 5, 2007) when the 49ers shutout the Flyers 9-0 and 8-0 behind the pitching of then-seniors Kristen Bowen and Christy Murray, respectively, and a two-run homer by junior shortstop Cee Brooks. The pair of wins allowed Charlotte to clench an automatic berth to the conference tournament.

Sophomore outfielder Serena Smith currently leads the team and the conference in RBI wtih 24, while junior second baseman leads the league in hits (38), runs scored (27) and stolen bases (16). Freshman Katy Hackett is ranked third in the conference in ERA (2.38), second in strikeouts (looking; 30), first in wins (7) and third in saves (2).

Admission to the game is free.
