RALEIGH, N.C. – It was a great day at the plate for the App State Mountaineers, tallying 20 total hits and 10 runs, which led to a doubleheader split in the Wolfpack Classic finale on Sunday. The Mountaineers defeated Cleveland State 8-1 to begin the day before falling to the host NC State 6-2 in the finale.
App State (7-5) played a complete game on both offense and defense in the day's first game against Cleveland State (3-5) as the Mountaineers jumped in front in the third inning and never looked back. A three-spot in the third inning courtesy of an RBI single by Peyton Darnell and a two-RBI triple by Killian Roberts gave App State a lead it never looked back from in game 1.
