Game One vs. Texas State. Friday at 7 p.m.
Slamming the door shut after nine long innings can be challenging, and the Mountaineers again faced that reality, losing a 3-1 lead in the ninth inning to eventually fall 6-3 to Texas State in extra innings, in the first of the three game series against the Bobcats.
App State (10-12, 1-3 Sun Belt) controlled the game for eight innings, playing ahead or tied in the game’s first eight frames. As the Mountaineers headed to the ninth, the Bobcats (14-8, 3-1 Sun Belt) roared back to tie the game at 3-3, sending the Mountaineers into their first extra inning game of the season.
