BOONE, N.C. — Appalachian State University baseball managed only four hits against South Alabama right-hander Hunter Soleymani and lost to the 23rd-ranked Jaguars, 8-1, on Saturday afternoon at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium.
Coupled with Appalachian State’s 4-3 win on Friday, Saturday’s result evened this weekend’s three-game Sun Belt Conference series at a game apiece. The rubber match is set for Sunday at noon (please note change from original game time) at Smith Stadium.
Soleymani was the story of Saturday’s contest, as he needed just 102 pitches to toss the complete-game four-hitter.
