BUIES CREEK, N.C. – The UNC Asheville baseball team will continue conference play on Friday, as the Bulldogs will open a three-game series at Campbell.
About the Bulldogs
UNC Asheville travels to Buies Creek with a 7-12 overall record and is 2-1 in Big South games. In the last five contests, UNC Asheville is a respectable 2-3, which includes a series victory over USC Upstate.
In the last five games, three Bulldogs led the UNC Asheville offense in Brandon Lankford, Danny Wilson and Carmine Pagano. Lankford was unstoppable at the plate, as he tallied six hits. Five of those hits were extra-base knocks with three doubles and two home runs. With his two home runs, he brought his conference-leading home run total to eight. He is now in a tie for eighth in NCAA DI baseball. Wilson was also strong in the last five games, as he totaled a team-best six RBIs on six hits. He smacked a pair of doubles and earned a home run as well. Carmine Pagano also totaled six hits, which included three doubles, three RBIs and four runs scored in five starts. He was also one of two Bulldogs to swipe a base in the last five games.
Greg Gasparro led the starting rotation against USC Upstate. The utility player twirled 5.2 innings and allowed just three earned runs, while striking out three. Wilson was also strong in his start, as the senior started against No. 21 Tennessee. In the start, he tossed three innings of two-hit ball. He also didn't allow a run against the nationally-ranked foe. Wilson also helped seal the conference-series victory over USC Upstate, as he earned his first career save on Sunday. He tossed three frames against the Spartans and allowed just one run.
