CHARLOTTE, N.C. – The Charlotte softball team will begin its 30th season in program history on Saturday, welcoming three teams to D.L. Phillips Softball Complex for the two-day Charlotte First Pitch Classic Tournament.
The Niners will kick off their 2016 campaign facing Massachusetts, an old rival from its days in the Atlantic 10, at 11 a.m. on Saturday, before facing Toledo and Youngstown State at 1:30 p.m. and 3:30 p.m. on Sunday to conclude Opening Weekend.
Fans can follow the @49erSoftball, @49erGameday, and @Charlotte49ers Twitter accounts for in-game updates.
The 49ers enter the season on the verge of a historic milestone, as the squad needs just two wins to eclipse 400 home victories for the program.
