Baseball: Cats travel to Asheville

The Catamounts travel to Asheville on Wednesday evening for the second mid-week game, as well as, the second game of the annual home and home series with the UNCA Bulldogs.

The Cats currently own the second longest winning streak in Division I baseball at 10 and enter Wednesday's game with a 21-9 overall record after shutting out Asheville's Big South Conference mate Presbyterian, 16-0. .

Western Carolina visits Greenwood Field - the first on-campus meeting between the Cats and Dogs since 2004, as the Bulldogs dedicate their new field lights in Greenwood Field. Thanks to a grant from the Buncombe County Tourism Development Authority, both UNCA's soccer field and baseball field now have lights.

“We’re excited about our home game with Western Carolina and celebrating the fact we have lights,” stated Bulldog coach and WCU alum, Tom Smith. “It should be a great night and hopefully we can play well and get a win against a very good Western Carolina ballclub.”

Wednesday's meeting is the 75th all-time between WCU and UNCA, as the Cats lead the all-time series with UNCA, 48-26, including the 4-1 victory last Tuesday in Cullowhee. UNCA is 6-8 at home this season and 11-22 overall.

There will be NO Catamount Sports Network coverage of the UNCA game. The game can be seen for free on the Big South Digital Network under the multimedia tag at uncabulldogs.com.
