49ers Win Tight American League CUSA Race:
Equal parts jubilation and relief swept over the Charlotte 49ers clubhouse tonight. The team captured the American League CUSA crown, by the slimmest of margins.
"We're happy, excited, overjoyed, relieved, anxious - a lot of emotions going through our heads," said starting pitcher Frank E Smith. "It's really hard to describe the wave of feelings you get going through a pennant race like this."
The 49ers can now put the pennant push behind them and focus on the postseason, where the club will enter the bid for the College World Series with a 101-61 record.
It is the 1st time the 49ers have won the division in their team history and they are seeking a 1st NCAA championship.
