Probable Pitching Matchup
LHP Isaac Williams (Asheville) vs. LHP Clark Dearman (Charlotte) – 4 p.m. – Live Stats
Last Time Out – The Bulldogs notched their second straight series win on Sunday by defeating Eastern Kentucky by a score of 9-5. With Sunday's victory, the Bulldogs improve to 5-2 on the season.
Best Start Since… - Asheville's 5-2 start in 2023 has been one of its best in recent memory. The last time Asheville won five of its first seven games was back in 2012.
Best in the Big South – A couple weeks into the season and Asheville ranks at the top of the Big South in a couple of statistical categories. The Bulldog pitchers have allowed just 6.08 hits per nine innings this season, which not only leads the Big South but also ranks eighth nationally. Additionally, Asheville has turned a league-leading seven double plays so far in 2023 and that ranks 27th in the country.
Bacot on Base – One constant for Asheville so far this spring has been Dylan Bacot's ability to get on base. Bacot, who is hitting .320 with four RBI so far in 2023, is the only Bulldog to reach base in all seven games this season.
Atta Boy Abrams – Another key in Asheville's 5-2 start has been the performance of Kohl Abrams in the batter's box. Abrams is leading the team with a .429 batting average with nine hits, seven runs scored with an on-base percentage of .586. Abrams also paces all Asheville players with four multi-hit games so far in 2023.
About Charlotte – The 49ers will bring a 4-4 record into Tuesday's matchup with Asheville. Offensively, Charlotte is a patient team as it ranks second in the nation with 69 bases on balls. On the mound, the 49ers rely on swing-and-miss stuff as they rank 28th in the country with 80 strikeouts.
Series Rewind vs. Charlotte – Charlotte has won 26 of the 30 all-time meetings between these two programs over the years. Asheville will be looking for its first win at Charlotte since 2014 when it picked up a 5-1 win.
