GREENVILLE, S.C. -- David Webel went 3-for-4 and drove in four runs and freshman pitchers Matthew Marchal and Gavin Scott combined to hurl 6 1/3 effective innings to lead Furman past UNC Asheville, 8-5, in Wednesday evening baseball action at Latham Stadium.

The win halted a four-game losing skid for Furman (6-7) while UNC Asheville (2-10) dropped its sixth straight with the loss.

Webel, a redshirt junior outfielder, delivered a two-run single in the second inning, an RBI double in the fourth, and finished off his game with an RBI single in a three-run fifth that put Paladins ahead for good.

Jordan Starkes also had three hits, and Aidan Healy tallied a pair of hits and scored two runs.  Logan Taplett drew a pair of walks and scored three runs for the Paladins, who finished with 12 hits.

Marchal (2-1), who earned the victory, took over for starter Hank Nichols with two outs in the third inning and proceeded to work 4 1/3 innings, allowing three hits and a pair of runs, only one of which was earned.  The St. Joseph's Catholic School product, walked two and struck out two.

Scott pitched the eighth and ninth innings to notch his first collegiate save.  The Jupiter, Fla., product struck out four before surrendering a pair of singles in the ninth.  He recovered to get the Bulldogs' Wade Chandler on a fly ball to end the game.

The loss was charged to Tyler Serrichhio (0-1), who was the victim of a throwing error by shortstop Sebastian Dunn in the fifth that led to three unearned runs, breaking at 5-5 tie.
