MONTGOMERY, Ala. – App Sate scored three runs in the bottom of the eighth inning to take the lead, and was able to hold onto the advantage in the ninth, fending off James Madison 8-7 and stave off elimination at Riverwalk Stadium.
A trio of fifth year seniors ignited the late-game heroics at the plate. Tied 5-5, Andrew Terrell led off the home eighth with a single to the hole at shortstop. After Terrell stole second to advance into scoring position, Luke Drumheller bounced a ball off the first base bag and into right field for a go-ahead single.
