Baseball Drops Midweek Game 12-1 at Furman

04.25.2017 | Baseball

GREENVILLE, S.C. – The UNC Asheville baseball team played the final game of the month of April Tuesday evening, dropping a 12-1 decision at Furman.

The game at Latham Stadium against the Paladins was the last game for the Bulldogs before they break for exams. The Bulldogs will now be off for six days.

Furman (19-20), which has now won eight-straight games, edged out to a 1-0 lead in the first inning with UNC Asheville (17-24) tying the score up in the top of the third when Tanner Bush raced home off a single to right-center field by Danny Wilson. Earlier in the inning, Bush knocked his fourth double in the last three games.

From there, the Paladins took control, scoring five runs in the fourth, four in the sixth and two final runs in the seventh to claim the midweek tilt.

In total, six different Bulldogs notched hits, including Carmine Pagano, Wilson, Justin Woods, Brandon Lankford, Derek Smith and Bush.

Wilson (0-1) started the game on the mound for the Bulldogs, pitching 3.2 innings before giving way to Austin Fahr, Jesse Juday, Ryan Tapp and Nick Boyles. Trent Alley (1-0) pitched the first six innings for Furman, giving up the one run while striking out four.
