BOONE, N.C. — App State Baseball broke a fifth-inning tie with a six-run outburst Friday, highlighted by Kameron Miller's two-run homer, then Cal Clark's clutch pitching in a bases-loaded jam and Riley Luft's diving catch during a late comeback attempt carried the Mountaineers to a 12-7 home victory against Gardner-Webb.
Making its High Country debut in Smith Stadium, App State (5-4) didn't secure the series opener against the Runnin' Bulldogs (5-6) until Jordan Fisher recorded his third save by entering with the bases loaded and pairing a strikeout with a game-ending flyout.
