George Ties Carolina RBI Record in Victory over Charlotte
March 5, 2019 | Softball
CHAPEL HILL – Thanks to nine Carolina hits, including two home runs by starting pitcher Hannah George, the Tar Heels downed Charlotte, 9-0, on Tuesday night at Anderson Stadium. George not only tossed Carolina's second shutout of the season, but also drove in seven RBI to tie the UNC single-game record. The freshman slugged two home runs Tuesday night – the first of which was a grand slam.
In addition to George, both Leah Murray and Kiani Ramsey went 2-for-2 at the plate. Murray came around to score three Carolina runs and Ramsey drove in two. Campbell Hutcherson was a spark in the 9-hole with a 2-for-3 outing. In the circle, George struck out four 49ers en route to the Tar Heels second shutout win of the season.
With the win, Carolina improves to 9-8 while Charlotte falls to 7-9 on the season.
Key Moments vs. Charlotte
» With the bases loaded, Hannah George slugged her second career home run for UNC's second grand slam of the season.
» Carolina led off the second with a trio of hit by Campbell Hutcherson, Leah Murray and Kiani Ramsey. With the bases loaded for a second time, George plated two runs on a single to center.
» With two outs, Hutcherson doubled to left and Murray put down a second bunt-single. Ramsey laced a two-run single down the left line, upping Carolina's lead to eight.
» George slugged her second home run of the day to left in the fourth inning to finalize the score at 9-0.
» Charlotte threatened with a single by Imani Rochelle and double by Kiersten Berrier in the top of the fifth, but George's fourth strikeout clinched the win.
» Winning pitcher: Hannah George (7-1) // Losing pitcher: Maggie Cannon (2-5)
Noteworthy
» Both of Carolina's grand slams this season were hit by freshmen: Kiersten Licea vs. Michigan on Feb. 15 and Hannah George vs. Charlotte.
