Andy Arguelles and Will Eiland combined on a four-hitter and South Alabama reached base 19 times via hit or walk in a 9-1 victory over Appalachian State on Friday night at Stanky Field.
The Jaguars improve to 14-11 overall, 4-2 in the Sun Belt Conference with the win, in a series-opener delayed a day by rain. The Mountaineers fall to 6-17, 0-7.
"It's a big confidence boost," South Alabama left fielder Dylan Hardy said. "We know what this team's capable of -- hitting, defense and pitching. When they all come together, we're pretty dangerous. We showed that tonight.
