The Liberty Flames will welcome the UNC Asheville Bulldogs to Worthington Field at Liberty Baseball Stadium on Tuesday. The contest continues an eight-game homestand for the Flames.
Quick Hits
• For the first time since 2018, Liberty and UNC Asheville will meet on the baseball diamond on Tuesday. The two teams met regularly as members of the Big South Conference through 2018.
• UNC Asheville, 9-6 on the year, and Liberty have only met twice as non-conference opponents. The first-ever meeting of the series in 1986 was also a non-conference contest.
• Liberty has posted a 4-5 record at Worthington Field at Liberty Baseball Stadium. The Flames are in the midst of their longest homestand of the season of eight games. No. 11 East Carolina swept a three-game series with Liberty to begin the series this past weekend.
• The freshman catcher Maccadin Dye posted two multi-hit games, including a three-hit game on Sunday, this past weekend. Dye went 6-for-12 (.500) with a double and three RBI during the series. The three-hit game was the first of his collegiate career and his fourth multi-hit game of 2024.
• Outfielder Camden Troyer hit a three-run home run, his second of the year, and doubled Sunday against No. 11 East Carolina to collect his fourth multi-hit game of the year on Sunday. He also walked and scored twice. Troyer is the only Flame to
reach base safely in every game this season.
• Head Coach Scott Jackson is in his eighth season at Liberty. Jackson has led the Flames to a 227-157 record and three NCAA Regional appearances, the most of any coach in program history.
