BOONE, N.C. – Juan Correa belted his 13th home run of the season and Liam Best fanned six in his third start of the year, but App State came up short against No. 22 Southern Miss, falling 7-3 at Smith Stadium on Saturday.
The Golden Eagles (30-13, 14-6) have now won six of their seven Sun Belt series this season.
Best was clutch in his outing for the Mountaineers (21-21, 11-9). The right-hander struck out the side in the first inning, after allowing the first two batters of the inning to get into scoring position.
