The Mountaineers hosted their first home game of the season at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium. In what was a hard-fought game by both sides, the Apps were able to prevail against the UNC Asheville Bulldogs by a score of 4-3.
A pitchers duel early on set the tone for the game. UNC Asheville changed their pitched eight times throughout.
The two teams went scoreless through the first three innings. Following a hit by senior shortstop Matt Vernon and junior centerfielder Chandler Seagle, who grounded into a fielder’s choice, junior left fielder Tyler Stroup blasted a line drive homerun to left-center bring home Seagle and give the Mountaineers a two-run lead.
