Catamounts Edged by the Mountaineers 7-6 in Boone
Boone, N.C. – Trent Turner drove in a run and Elijah Smith plated two in a three-run top of the sixth inning on Wednesday evening, but home-standing Appalachian State hit a three-run home run as part of a four-run home half of the same frame as the Mountaineers reclaimed the lead. WCU pushed across a run in the ninth and had the game-tying marker aboard but were unable to find the equalizer as the Catamounts were edged 7-6 in the back end of the midweek nonconference home-and-home at Jim & Bettie Smith Stadium.
