RICHMOND, Ky. – The UNC Asheville baseball team saw its current losing skid extended to nine games on Saturday afternoon as the Bulldogs dropped a pair of games to Eastern Kentucky, 10-3 and 10-6, at Turkey Hughes Field as the Blue & White will look to avoid the sweep in game three of the series tomorrow.
Asheville (4-9) gave up 10 runs on 15 hits to the Colonels in game one as EKU exploded for five runs in the bottom of the fourth of game one. In game two EKU scored nine runs over the first two innings as the Bulldogs gave up six hits and committed four errors over the first two frames.
