LITTLE ROCK, Ark. — App State clinched a big Sun Belt road series victory Sunday with a 5-0 win at Little Rock.
Trey Tujetsch recorded his first career win by allowing just four hits and striking out four batters in six shutout innings. Eli Ellington retired nine of the 10 batters he faced, allowing just a tough-luck infield double on a pop-up lost in the sun, to earn a three-inning save.
In taking two of three games from the Trojans (20-26, 10-11), the Mountaineers (18-28, 9-9 Sun Belt) opened the series finale with a run in the top of the first inning on Tyler Leek's RBI single and finally gained some separation with a two-run top of the sixth before adding single runs in each of the last two innings.
