Baseball vs. Coppin St.

49ers Basketball Forum 🏀
1

Game one in the books. Niners win 18-1. CSU is way over matched. They have a first year coach and have an extremely short roster. Sound familiar?

Great crowd at the Hayes tonight. Should be another great showing tomorrow.

Redshirt junior Andrew Smith went 6 innings giving up two hits with one earned run. He struck out 8 batters. Redshirt sophomore Tony Montalbano collected 3 hits and drove in 6 rund in his 49er debut.

Two more games tomorrow. Noon and 3:30. Freshman Tyler Barnette makes his Niner debut on the mound at 12.

This series is using the 7 inning 10 run mercy rule due to their shortage of players (primarily pitchers). Tonight’s game only went 6 and a half innings. We scored 18 runs in only 6 innings but the game still took almost as long as it would take to play 9 innings. Our team should be very solid this year.

Awesome atmosphere tonight at the Hayes. Only one surprise in the lineup. Gillespie started at 1B instead of Miguel. Newcomer Montablano took his spot and played right. Wilson was the DH. A pleasant surprise from Montablano.

Odd timing for this article to come out tonight…

New things on horizon for Coppin State baseball

We could be leading the nation in all categories offensively and defensively after this weekend.

9

Coppin St. is D1 correct?

10

Correct. MEAC. They were winless 2 years ago but almost won their conference tourney last year with a whopping 14 regular season wins. :o

And we thought the A10 was bad.

11

Barely.

Great tailgate today!! We had a great crowd of Niners out there. I hope we can build on that during the season.

13

Were CHP and Judy there today? I know how supportive Judy is of our men’s athletic programs.

Trust me, she hates losing more than you do, whether its men’s basketball or women’s tennis. You are entitled to whatever opinion you like, but to hint that she doesn’t care about men’s athletics runs counter to reality.

15

Anyone tailgating next Saturday? I won’t work next weekend again and I’m thinking about having some DOH-Q!

16

We will be tailgating every home Saturday game. Another double header this Saturday, then the basketball game at 7:00.

Game 4 story with box score: http://www.charlotte49ers.com/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=23200&ATCLID=205100171

Niners wrap up the sweep today by defeating CSU 11-0. Four game total of 61-1.

Competition takes a decided step up next weekend versus Missouri.

18

I hope we play some real teams this year.

19

This was the equivalent to an exhibition as far as I’m concerned.

We have a Big 12 team, Missouri, coming in this weekend for 4 games. Their RPI was 75 last year. Ours was 81.

20

Yes,
Granted it is hard to judge our team based off a 61-1 overall whooping we gave to Coppin state, I thought it was good to have a series like that. Misso. will be a good series, but I would rather whoop up on someone and boost the overall team confidence to start a season. a fan showing like last friday would not be bad either! That was awesome, you would have thought an ACC team was in town. Lets keep Hayes buzzing, especially Friday nights, that was fun!
