App State baseball welcomed North Carolina A&T State University to Boone for a special 12-inning exhibition game Friday night. The Mountaineers’ offense shone, doubling up runs against the Aggies, with 18 runs in the 5-hour ballgame.
With it being an exhibition game for players to practice in a competitive environment, App State head coach Kermit Smith made sure the newest additions to the team played to see how they fared. Freshman outfielder Nico Soul, sophomore infielder Ethan Puig, senior infielder Jake Mummau and senior outfielder Tank Yaghoubi were just a few of the new Mountaineers who took the field to start the game.
