App State baseball welcomed the No. 20 team in the nation, Texas State University, to Boone for a three-game series over the weekend. The Mountaineers couldn’t take down the Bobcats and were swept in the series.
While the Mountaineers were winless, they kept the game close until the end Friday. Going into the ninth inning, the game was tied 4-4, but a three-run final inning by the Bobcats proved too much to overcome with the final score 7-4.
Redshirt freshman infielder Austin St. Laurent turned in a career day for App State. He doubled, homered and drove three players in for runs.
