Of the seven runs scored against the Blue & White, only three were earned. Starter Robert McIntosh gave up six runs (three earned) in three innings of work as his defense committed three errors behind him. McIntosh falls to 0-1 on the season while the Bulldogs drop their seventh consecutive game to fall to 4-7.
Daniel Blaustein and Carter Sackett each collected two runs batted in for the Panthers, who improve to 10-4 with the victory. Aiden Francis picked up the win to improve to 2-0 on the season after pitching three shutout innings.
Leadoff man Jordan Lurie collected a pair of hits for the Diamond Dogs with freshman Tommy Houmard picking up two hits as well. Houmard went 2-for-3 at the plate with a run scored and a walk while right fielder Mike Vaughn collected Asheville's only RBI of the day.
