ASHEVILLE, N.C. – Eastern Kentucky pounded out 15 hits in an 11-4 victory at North Carolina Asheville on Sunday. With the win, the Colonels (4-6) complete the three-game sweep.

EKU wasted little time getting out ahead. With one out and one on in the first , Sean Hagen drove in the game's first run with a double to left center. Two batters later, Luke Wurzelbacher drove in Hagen with a single to center. With the bases loaded and still just one out, Bryan Soloman made it 5-0 with a bases-clearing double down the right field line. Ben Fisher's single through the right side scored Soloman to cap the inning and put the visitors out in front by six.

The Colonels added an unearned run in the third for a 7-0 lead. The Bulldogs got on the board in the bottom of the fourth on Eli Miller's three-run home run.

Eastern added a pair in the sixth on a two-run single by Doug Teegarden before sophomore Kyle Nowlin hit his first home run of the season in the seventh to extend the lead to 10-3.

EKU freshman Caleb Johnson made his first career start. He allowed three runs, two of which were earned, on two hits in four innings of work. Johnson walked one and struck out five. Entering the game, he had not allowed a run in four innings of relief this season.

Myles Scott (1-2) came on to pitch for Eastern in the fifth and picked up his first win of the season. He tossed two and two-thirds innings of relief before allowing a run in the bottom of the seventh. That ran EKU's relievers streak to 19 consecutive innings without allowing an earned run.

In three innings, Scott gave up two hits, one run, walked one and struck out one. Ben Brooks and Chris Cervantes allowed one hit each while pitching the final two innings.

Soloman finished 3-for-5 with two runs and three RBIs. Kenny Hostrander went 3-for-4 with a run and an RBI. Teegarden had three hits in five at bats, scored twice and drove in a pair of runs.

Six different Bulldogs (1-7) had one hit each. Miller's lone hit in four at bats was the three-run shot. Adam Spracklin (0-1) started for UNCA. He allowed five runs on three hits in just one-third of an inning. He walked two and struck out one.
