The final contest of a three-game series for Marshall Baseball ended short on Saturday, March 30, as the App State Mountaineers shelled the Herd 19-2 across seven innings in Boone, North Carolina.
The game stopped after only seven innings due to the umpires’ use of the NCAA’s baseball mercy rule, otherwise known as the 10-run rule.
“We obviously didn’t pitch well,” said head coach Greg Beals following the contest. “But we had a few chances on defense to help out the pitching staff, and we were not able to make those plays.”
The Herd committed two errors in the contest while also surrendering 19 runs on 13 total hits from the Mountaineers’ batters.
