ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville baseball team will return home to Greenwood Field on Tuesday to take on Lafayette in a non-conference matchup. The first pitch between the Bulldogs and Leopards is set for 4 p.m. on ESPN+.
Fan Information – Due to the 2022 UNC Asheville baseball season being presented by Ingles, admission to Tuesday's game and all of Asheville's home games this season will be free admission. The concession stand will be open on Tuesday, so outside food or drinks will not be allowed.
Last Time Out – Asheville fell in a well-pitched game on Sunday at East Tennessee State by a score of 4-1. The loss moves the Bulldogs' record to 4-10 on the 2022 campaign.
Freeberger is on fire – Senior Dominic Freeberger has been on fire at the plate lately. Last week, Freeberger hit .667 with three extra-base hits (one double, two triples) and picked up the save in Asheville's win over High Point. Over the last 10 games, Freeberger is hitting a blistering .486 with seven RBI, seven runs scored, and seven extra-base hits (five doubles, two triples).
Midweek Mojo – The Bulldogs hope that last Tuesday's 5-2 win over High Point leads to more success in these midweek matchups.
