FINAL:

Charlotte 9  Middle Tennessee 8

The 49ers denied a rally from the Blue Raiders to clinch their spot in the championship game in the final contest of day four of the 2023 Conference USA Baseball Championship on Saturday evening.

With the victory, Charlotte will meet Dallas Baptist tomorrow at 2 PM to compete for the championship and an automatic bid to the NCAA Regionals.

CHAMPIONSHIP SCHEDULE: HERE

Not seeing this league being two bids without a Charlotte upset.

Hopefully they have some pitching left to at least make it close.

49ers looking for the upset ahead 3-2 in the 5th.

After blowing a bases loaded with one out situation in the 4th, they have a runner on second with no outs.

Would be nice to see them pull it out and give the league two teams.

FINAL:

Charlotte 5  Dallas Baptist 2

The 49ers pulled off a remarkable upset over the 17th-ranked Patriots in the championship game of day five of the 2023 Conference USA Baseball Championship on Sunday afternoon.

With the victory, Charlotte has punched their ticket to the NCAA Regionals. On the other hand, Dallas Baptist will hope for an at-large bid to keep their season going.

Pitching year after year is our challenge.  One reason given is that we have to find a diamond in the rough at our level.  On the flip side, I see other schools like Old Dominion, Southern Miss, Charlotte, etc that can find those pitchers.  Where are we going wrong?

Facilities has become an issue. They don't even bring recruits to the campus. Fortunately, that will change soon.

Our pitching has been pretty bad without any depth whatsoever since Jason Jackson left.

Ironically, he is now the “head coach” at Alabama!
