Bulldogs Walk Off Radford 6-5 in Series Opener on Friday
04.25.2025 | Baseball
ASHEVILLE, N.C. - UNC Asheville Baseball walked off Radford 6-5 in the series opener Friday night (Apr. 25) at Greenwood Field.
Â
Asheville jumped out in front with three runs in the home half of the first, an inning that began with a Corbin Lanowitz single to right center and a Logan Lowe bunt single. Patrick Gillen would lace a one-out single to right center to score Lanowitz, before Blaize Johnson to left to load the bases. Jake Minarik would rip a single to third base to score Lowe, before Owen Michelson would score Gillen on a sacrifice fly down the right field line. Radford got on the board with one in the fourth, before Asheville added one in the fifth when Lowe scored on a Rylen Stockton double to right center. The Bulldogs would ride another strong start into the eighth by Clay Edmondson, before tacking on an insurance run in the home half when Jake Pereira doubled home Jake Minarik. Radford would rally to tie the game 5-5 in the ninth, before coming up empty in the visiting half of the 10th. Brock Mercado would draw a one-out walk to jump start the offense in the home half of the 10th, before being lifted for pinch-runner Isaac Turner who would move up to second on a ground ball on the infield for the second out. Lanowitz was intentionally walked to set the stage for Lowe, who drove the first pitch he saw into the left center gap as Turner trotted home and the Bulldogs walked it off for the Big South Conference win.
Â
Asheville outhit Radford 17-9 in the game, paced by a career-best 4-6 day at the plate from Lowe. Johnson and Minarik each matched their career-highs with three hits apiece in the game, while Stockton and Gillen each had two hits. Lanowitz, Mercado and Pereira each had one hit in the game. Lowe, Stockton, Gillen, Minarik, Owen Michelson and Pereira each drove in one run in the win. Michelson also collected an outfield assist from right field in the game on the defensive end. Asheville got yet another quality start from Edmondson on the bump, as he fired 7.2 innings scattering six hits allowing just one run with just one walk and eight strikeouts. Cal Barna and Daylinh Nguyen-Brown each contributed one third of an inning in the ninth, while Ryland Howell finished things off on the mound and collected his first career win. Howell (1-1) allowed just one hit over 1.2 innings of relief along with two strikeouts.
