ASHEVILLE, N.C. – A five-run seventh inning by Wofford helped pace the Terriers to a 9-4 victory over UNC Asheville in non-conference baseball action on Tuesday afternoon at Greenwood Field, as Wofford complete the season sweep of the Bulldogs with the win.
The Terriers earned a 4-3 decision over Asheville on March 28 in Spartanburg, S.C. Wofford improves to 17-23 on the year while the Bulldogs drop to 19-23.
Both starters were the pitchers of record for their respective teams, with the Terriers' Gus White (1-0) earning the win. White allowed two runs on five hits in five innings of work. Asheville's Elliot Criss (2-3) gave up three runs on four hits in three innings at the helm.
Senior third baseman Cody Buch went 2-for-4 at the plate for the Blue & White, with a two run home run in the bottom of the fifth. Jordan Lurie was 2-for-5 from the leadoff spot while teammate Todd Joyner was 2-for-3.
Wofford's Mac Doyle and Konstantine Diamaduros each tallied three RBI apiece to help lead the Terriers to victory. Matthew Pelt also drove in a pair of runs for Wofford.
The Terriers took the lead in the top of the third, plating three runs on a three-RBI homer to left by Doyle. Wofford added another run in the top of the fourth to take a 4-0 lead in the contest.
Asheville got on the board in the bottom of the fifth on Buch's homer down the leftfield line. The Bulldogs cut the lead to 4-3 on an Ian Graham RBI-groundout with a runner on third.
Wofford would explode for five runs in the top of the fifth, highlighted by a Diamaduros triple to right to plate three runners.
Hunter Bryant drove in a run for the Bulldogs in the bottom of the seventh, but Asheville could not rally for any more runs as they fell by the final of 9-4.
The Bulldogs will be back in action on May 4, when they travel to take on Big South Conference foe High Point in a three-game series.
