Axford activated, but Dull lands on DL

"I pushed off and felt something," said Dull, who retired Moreland to end the 10th inning. "Every pitch after that, it was really painful to push off."

Dull said a similar incident occurred during his freshman season at UNC-Asheville eight years ago, "but it didn't feel as severe as it did [Friday] night," he said.

The right-hander was diagnosed with hamstring tendinitis and irritation to the meniscus at the time, saying he was fully recovered six to eight weeks later; it's notable, however, that he had a full summer to recover, since the injury happened at the end of the season.
