The Mountaineer’s baseball team could not escape the cold weather in Charlotte, but their bats kept them warm as they racked up a season high 14 hits. App was able to lead an offensive assault on the N.C. Central Eagles and take the win 9-5 in their first of a two game sweep over the Eagles this week.
Taking place at BB&T Ballpark, home of the Charlotte Knights Minor League team, it still felt like a home game for the Apps (8-9). With the temperature being 38 degrees at first pitch, they were not out of their element.
