Five Doubles, Strong Relief Pitching Not Enough In Loss
BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State closed the nonconference portion of its schedule with an 8-3 home loss to Radford on Tuesday.
The Mountaineers matched a season high by hitting five doubles, including two apiece from Kendall McGowan (2-for-4, two runs) and Riley Smith (3-for-4). The relief pitching of Andrew Papp (five strikeouts in 2.1 innings) and Jason Cornatzer gave App State time to trim a 6-0 deficit to 6-3, but Radford added single runs in the seventh and eighth innings.
