04.23.2024 | Baseball
ASHEVILLE, N.C. – The UNC Asheville baseball team squared off with Wofford on Tuesday night for the Bulldogs' final home midweek matchup of the season and fell to the Terriers 5-3.
Wofford struck in the first inning with a solo shot and doubled its lead with a run in the third. In the bottom of the third, Corbin Lanowitz made it a 2-2 ballgame with a hit to the right side of the field that scored Ty Kaufman and Kohl Abrams to score.
In the fifth inning, Cameron Johnson helped Asheville take the lead by scorching one down the left field line to score Robbie Burnett from first base. The Bulldogs' lead, however, was shortlived as Wofford evened the score in the sixth and took a two-run lead in the eighth, which the Terriers would hold for the remainder of the contest.
Kaufman, Lanowitz, and Ben Hemphill each had two hits, with Lanowitz leading the way with two RBIs. Johnson and Canon Pierce each had one hit, with Johnson recording the final RBI for Asheville. Abrams and Burnett led the team with two walks each.
The Bulldogs return to the field this weekend as Asheville travels to face Longwood in Big South Conference action. Game one of the three-game weekend series begins on Friday, April 26, at 6 p.m.
