WINSTON-SALEM, N.C. — Appalachian State rallied to overcome a 4-1 deficit at Wake Forest on Tuesday, but the Demon Deacons scored a tiebreaking run in the eighth inning of their 5-4 victory at Couch Ballpark.
Kendall McGowan and Bailey Welch hit solo homers in the sixth inning to pull App State (6-9) within 4-3, and Luke Drumheller had a game-tying RBI groundout in the seventh to bring home Tyler Leek, who had moved around the bases on a hit by pitch, stolen base and passed ball. In the bottom of the eighth inning, a leadoff walk and sacrifice bunt set up an RBI single from Wake Forest's Michael Turconi.
