App State Finishes as No. 9 Seed, Will Face Louisiana on Tuesday

CONWAY, S.C. — Appalachian State Baseball spent the last three days at Spring Brooks Stadium.

The Mountaineers will return there in a few days to make their first appearance in the Sun Belt Championship tournament.

Appalachian closed the 2019 regular season Saturday with a 9-6 road loss against tournament host Coastal Carolina. App State, which had not posted double-digit league wins in its first four Sun Belt seasons, finished 13-16 to claim sole possession of ninth in the 12-team conference.

The 10-team tournament begins Tuesday in Conway with a pair of single-elimination games, and the ninth-seeded Mountaineers (22-30 overall) will face eighth-seeded Louisiana (27-29, 15-15), with the winner advancing to the eight-team, double-elimination portion that starts Wednesday.
