Toreros Ride Early Barrage to Season-Opening Win Over 49ers

CHARLOTTE, N.C. (Interstat) — The San Diego Toreros erupted for seven runs in the first two innings and cruised to a 7-4 victory over the Charlotte 49ers on Friday evening at Robert and Mariam Hayes Stadium.

San Diego sent 11 batters to the plate in a six-run first inning, capitalizing on a key error and a wild pitch. The Toreros finished with nine hits. Charlotte’s Carson Gunderson hit two home runs, including a two-run shot in the first, but the 49ers managed only four hits total.

Hayden Cody earned the win for San Diego. Charlotte starter Adam Baker took the loss after recording just one out. The Toreros begin the season 1-0, while the 49ers start 0-1. The teams continue their series with a doubleheader Saturday.
