JOHNSON CITY, Tenn. (March 23, 2009) - The ETSU baseball team is set to host UNC Asheville Tuesday at 7 p.m. at Cardinal Park as the Bucs look to complete the sweep of the Bulldogs.

The two teams met last Tuesday in Asheville, N.C. as the Bucs won the game 3-2 behind the arm of freshman Bo Reeder (Cookeville, Tenn.).

ETSU (9-10, 3-6 A-Sun) comes into the series having won four of its last five games taking two out of three this past weekend from Campbell after beating UNC Asheville and Appalachian State in a couple midweek games. The Bucs are led offensively by senior Ben Allen (Kingsport, Tenn.) as he leads the team hitting .347 on the season.

The Bulldogs (10-7, 1-4 A-Sun) have dropped four out of their last five games dropping both midweek games and took the final game of a three-game series against VMI on Sunday. UNC Asheville is led by junior Justin Schumer.
