Baseball Rides Edmondson's Career Start to Doubleheader Split with Presbyterian
03.29.2025 | Baseball
ASHEVILLE, N.C. - UNC Asheville Baseball rode Clay Edmondson's career start in the first game to a doubleheader split with Presbyterian on Saturday (Mar. 29) at Greenwood Field. The Bulldogs won game one 5-4, before Presbyterian would win the rubber match 12-7 to capture the weekend series.
Â
Game One
Â
UNC Asheville built a 4-0 lead over the first three innings with two runs in the first and two runs in the third. Corbin Lanowitz opened the frame with a single to left, before Logan Lowe drew a walk and Rylen Stockton reached on a bunt single to load the bases with nobody out. Patrick Gillen would bring home Lanowitz with a sacrifice fly, before Blaize Johnson would move a runner up 90 feet on a fielder's choice. Owen Michelson would score Lowe with a single up the middle in the inning. Lowe would start the third inning with a one-out double to right center, before Rylen Stockton would blast his second home run of the season over the left field wall to stretch Asheville's lead to four. After Presbyterian scored their first run in the top of the fourth, the teams would trade blank frames until Asheville would add a run in the bottom of the seventh when Gillen singled up the middle to score Jake Pereira. Edmondson would ride his career start into the ninth, before Presbyterian would score three runs off of him before his exit. Daylinh Nguyen-Brown would slam the door on the Blue Hose rally for his fifth save of the season.
Â
Michelson went a career-best 3-3 in the game, while Stockton added two hits and Lanowitz, Lowe, Gillen, Johnson and Pereira each had one. Lowe scored twice in the game, while Lanowitz, Stockton and Pereira each crossed the plate once. Stockton and Gillen each drove in two runs in the game, while Michelson also added one. Michelson also stole a career-high two bases in the game. Edmondson fired eight innings in his start, the longest start for a Bulldog pitcher since Colby Guy back on Apr. 20 of last year against Winthrop. Edmondson allowed four runs on eight hits, walking two and punching out seven. Nguyen-Brown allowed one hit in the inning, now tying for ninth on the all-time single-season saves list with his fifth of the season.
Â
Game Two
Â
Presbyterian built a 4-0 lead through two and a half innings, before the Bulldogs responded with three in the home half of the third. Jake Minarik led off the frame with his third home run of the season blasting a solo shot down the left field line, before Lanowitz would jumpstart the train with a two-out single to right. He would come around to score on Logan Lowe's first career triple, a ball that found plenty of green grass in the right center gap. Stockton was intentionally walked in the following at-bat, before he moved to second and Lowe scored on a wild pitch. After Presbyterian got two back in the top of the fourth, Asheville would counter with one in the home half when Pereira singled up the middle to score Michelson. Presbyterian would tack on four more runs in the top of the sixth and one in the eighth, before Asheville would score three in the home half. Stockton would greet a new Presbyterian pitcher with a single through the left side, before Chase Klingemann would lace a double to right center to move Stockton to third. Stockton would score on a Johnson groundout, before Michelson would draw a walk and Minarik would reach on an infield single to score Klingemann. Pereira would later lace a two-out single through the right side to score Michelson as Asheville's final run of the game.
Â
Gillen, Minarik and Pereira each had two hits in the game, while Lanowitz, Lowe, Stockton, Klingemann and Michelson each had one hit in the game. Michelson scored twice in the game, while Lanowitz, Lowe, Stockton, Klingemann and Minarik each crossed the plate once in the game. Minarik and Pereira each drove in two runs in the game, while Lowe and Johnson each registered one RBI in the contest. Shea Walker (0-3) took the loss on the bump in the game, allowing three runs on six hits in two innings. Branden Barna relieve Walker with 1.1 innings, allowing three runs on six hits with two strikeouts. Tony Lopez contributed two innings of relief following Barna, giving up four runs on four hits with a career-high four strikeouts in the outing. Cal Barna would cover the next 2.1 innings of relief, allowing one run scattering two hits with one punchout. Matthew Hall would finish off the final 1.1 innings of relief allowing one run on one hit with one walk and two strikeouts.

The Bulldogs return to the diamond on Friday (Apr. 4) traveling to Winthrop for a Big South Conference series on the road. First pitch is set for 6:00 p.m. from Rock Hill, S.C. with video, live stats and tickets available at www.uncabulldogs.com. Â
