BOONE, N.C. — App State used a strong outing from starting pitcher Quinton Martinez and a five-RBI day at the plate from second baseman Luke Drumheller to claim an 8-3 victory over Arkansas State and secure the series win Saturday at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium.
The series win is the Mountaineers' first to open Sun Belt play after joining the league in 2015.
Martinez went eight innings and allowed three runs on seven hits with five strikeouts. He did not allow a baserunner for five consecutive innings between the first and seventh frames.
