BOONE, N.C. – Jackson Steensma struck out the side in the ninth inning to complete a four-out save, helping App State secure a 4-3 victory over the College of Charleston at Smith Stadium on Tuesday.
Steensma (save, 3) was summoned with two aboard in the eighth inning, including the tying run at third base. He needed just one pitch to get a flyout to center field and escape the jam with the lead intact. Then, after beginning the ninth inning with a looking strikeout, Steensma followed with back-to-back swinging strikeouts, and needed just 14 pitches to record the final four outs of the win.
