North Carolina A&T walked 12 batters and committed nine errors in the field, while the Charlotte 49ers stole seven bases en route to a 31-1 victory Tuesday night at Hayes Stadium. It was the largest margin of victory ever for a Charlotte team and one run shy of the school record for runs in a game.
Charlotte’s first three batters of the game walked, which later led to two runs on a sacrifice fly and back-to-back infield singles. The Niners (17-12) scored six in the first inning on just two hits and four Aggies errors.
The Niners batted around in three different innings and third baseman and former Independence High star Aaron Bray came to the plate eight times in the contest. Sophomore designated hitter and relief pitcher Ryan Rivers hit his team-leading ninth home run of the season and drove in a career-high seven RBI in the contest, just one shy of the school record.

Green Meanies...
Where is the love, the compassion for minority teams?
can you believe we gave up that one run? dang it! nice job NINERS!
Why would you need to score 31 runs, anyway? I suppose they needed the confidence boost after getting beat down the past few weeks.
Anon, if you read the first two lines... "North Carolina A&T walked 12 batters and committed nine errors in the field" you would know that it was reasonably easy to get on base. If the Aggies' pitchers got the ball near the plate the 49ers hit the ball, 24 times.
When they can sweep a series in the A-10 against a top team, then that would impress me. Overall team is lacking leadership this year and beating A&T so badly just shows that A&T lacked pitching to let it get so out of hand. Need leaders to step up for the team to thrive.
annonymous - you sir are an idiot. 12 walks and 9 errors = lots of runs
I wish the basketball team could score 31 points.
What the he11 is wrong with the poster that asks about compassion for "minority teams"? This ain't the welfare and food stamp line, nor is it public scool or little league. You lace 'em up at the college level and compete.
I applaud UNCC for playing the game the way it's supposed to be palyed - may the best team win! It's obvious NC A&T isn't that team.
Can't we all just get along...?
Anonymous 11:03, the "compassion" poster was not being serious, but satirical.
12:59, Charlotte had cleared the entire bench by the 6-7th inning. They were not TRYING to run up the score, but you can't ask those guys to quit playing!
If they were not running up the score, why did they need to steal 7bases? Also, if they cleared the bench by the 6th inning, how did a starter bat 8 times?
Here's a thought. Maybe the other team should GET BETTER.
5:58----most of those steals were in the early innings. As for the starter (Bray) batting 8 times, we batted around atleast 8 times and Bray was the only starter still playing in the 7th inning.
Wow, nice post,there are many person searching about that now they will find enough resources by your post.Thank you for sharing to us.Please one more post about that..
