BOONE, N.C. – App State Baseball trimmed a three-run deficit to one in the seventh inning but was unable to complete the comeback bid in a 4-2 loss to Georgia State on Thursday at Smith Stadium.
Elsewhere in conference play, ULM defeated South Alabama, pulling the Mountaineers one win away from clinching a spot in next week's Sun Belt tournament.
Despite out-hitting Georgia State (25-29, 10-18) 9-6 in the contest, App State (22-29, 12-16) lined into three double plays and went just 3-for-13 with runners in scoring position on the night.
Trailing 3-0 with two outs in the seventh inning, Dillon Moquin popped a ball up on the infield and none of Georgia State's defenders were able to get to it in time to make a play, allowing Riley Luft to score from third and Tyler Figueroa from second to make it a 3-1 game.
