Box Score

Boone, N.C. — The Georgia Southern baseball team (12-29, 5-14 SBC) fell to App State (24-16, 11-8 SBC) 16-3 in seven innings on Friday evening (April 24th).

HOW IT HAPPENED:

After a slow Eagle first, the Mountaineers slapped a leadoff double to left field before he scored from Puig's RBI single. A batter later, Miller brought everyone home with a two-run homer that made it 3-0 after one.
The Eagles nearly matched their rivals in their second, as Sean White and Nico Senese went for back-to-back solo homers to cut the deficit to just one.
In the bottom of the second, consecutive one out singles put two on before an Eagle error scored an unearned run to make it 4-2.
The Mountaineers started their third with a bang, as Miller mashed his second homer of the night in as many ABs.
The next batter saw a single and walk before a sac-bunt single also amounted to an error on the throwdown to first to score another. Still with none away a sac-fly and single pushed the lead all the way up to 8-2.
In App's fourth, their hit parade continued as Miller tied their school record with a third homer on the night before two RBI knocks from DuPont and Zamora added on four more.
The Eagles fought to get one in the fifth, as Frank Wells' leadoff single saw him reach second off a stolen base. With two away and two strikes, Brady Christman grounded through the infield to plate him and cut the deficit to single digits.
The Mountaineers had their third consecutive four-run inning in the fifth, as just two singles were enough to plate four, complimented by three different pitchers and five free bases.
Despite holding App State to their first scoreless frame of the night in the sixth, Southern could not respond in the seventh to fall in run-rule fashion.

NOTES:

James McCoy's single in the second extended his hit streak to a dozen, tying him for the longest by an Eagle this season.
White and Senese's consecutive homers were their firsts in a while. White last had one on March 17th at Kennesaw State while Senese had one just 12 days ago against South Alabama.
