BOONE, N.C. - Appalachian State got nine runs in the first six innings of starting pitcher Braden Hays to take a 9-5 win over the Eagles to even the weekend series at one game each. The Eagles got four in the eighth inning to tighten things up late, thanks to a 2-RBI double from Nolan Tressler and a two-run home run by Tyler Martin. Due to expected rain later in the day, Sunday's game has been pushed up to a 10 a.m. start.
Saturday's game came just 45 minutes after the Eagles held on for a 3-0 win over the Mountaineers in game one of the series.
