Baseball Preview: at #19 Charlotte

Seahawks and 49ersmeet for first time since 2002

CHARLOTTE, N.C. - UNCW and Charlotte meet for the first time since 2002 as both prepare for the conference tournaments next week with a three-game series beginning Thursday at Hayes Stadium. First pitch is set for 6 p.m.

The series continues on Friday with another 6 p.m. start and will wrap up on Saturday at 1 p.m.

The Seahawks (29-18) are coming off a 14-9 loss at North Carolina on Tuesday. The Tar Heels were staked to a nine-run lead after two innings, but the Seahawks managed to cut it to a two-run deficit, 11-9, in the top of the eighth. Cole Weiss led the Seahawks with a season-high four runs batted in on two hits while Taber Mongero extended his hitting streak to seven games with a pair of hits and he drove in two runs. Brooks Baldwin also added two hits and became the first player since 2012 to have 10+ home runs and stolen bases.

The 49ers, meanwhile, split four games at Rice last weekend in their final Conference USA series of the season. Charlotte, in its second season under the direction of Robert Woodard, owns a 36-17 record and is 25-5 at home.

Brooks Field will serve as site of next week's Colonial Athletic Association championship tournament, which opens Wednesday. The Seahawks earned a first day bye after clinching the South Division title last weekend with a sweep of visiting Charleston. Northeastern, along with the Seahawks, will also begin play on day two after running away with the North Division title.

Brooks Field has returned to full capacity and session tickets are on sale here. Individual game tickers will go on sale next week.
