ASHEVILLE, N.C. – With the NCAA now allowing baseball teams to play exhibition games during the fall, UNC Asheville and Georgia will square off in a fall season exhibition on Sunday, Oct. 14 at Foley Field in Athens, Ga.
First pitch between the two Bulldog clubs is set for 2 p.m., and admission is free for all fans.
"We are excited to have the opportunity to play the University of Georgia to wrap up our fall season," said UNC Asheville head coach Scott Friedholm. "I want to thank UGA head coach Scott Stricklin and his staff for this chance, and I hope it is beneficial for all the student-athletes involved.
"When you have a goal to work toward in your offseason, I truly believe it gives our players something to work toward during each lifting, conditioning and practice session."
Asheville returns a plethora of starters from last year's squad. Also joining the 2019 team are 11 newcomers, which includes two left-handed pitchers, two right-handed pitchers, three two-way players, two infielders, one outfielder and one catcher.
Georgia went 39-21 in the 2018 season, which included an at-large appearance in the NCAA Regional. UGA hosted the regional, where it won the first games over Campbell and Troy. In the Athens Regional Championship, Duke won two straight games over Georgia, which allowed the Blue Devils to advance into the next round of the NCAA Tournament.
