ARLINGTON, Texas — Appalachian State completed a Texas-sized sweep on Sunday.
The Mountaineers went ahead for good in the sixth inning of their Sun Belt Conference series finale at UTA and won 6-4 as senior closer Luke Watts recorded a six-out save in relief of victorious starter Will Sprinkle.
App State, which didn't trail during any of the 27 innings contested in Arlington, posted its first three-game sweep in conference play since the highly decorated 2012 team took a three-game set at Wofford.
With two series victories in the last three weekends, Appalachian (16-31, 7-17) matched the Sun Belt win total of East Division foe Georgia State (22-25, 7-16) in advance of their matchup next weekend in Georgia and pulled within one game of West Division member Arkansas State (17-26, 8-16).
