ETSU held to one run and four hits

BOONE, N.C. (April 6, 2022) – ETSU Softball dropped a tough doubleheader on the road on Wednesday, suffering a pair of losses to cross-mountain rival Appalachian State.   

Game 1: Appalachian State 8, ETSU 1
The Mountaineers opened game one on a fast pace, scoring the game’s first seven runs in three innings of work. The big hit was delivered by Kayt Houston with a two-run blast in the second frame.

ETSU’s lone run of the game appeared in the fourth inning when Sara Muir (Sequatchie, Tenn.) scored on a dropped throw at the plate. Muir got on base with a one-out double to center field and three batters later scored on the bases-loaded error to trim the Appalachian State lead to 7-1.

The final run for either team was a bases-loaded walk drawn by Appalachian State’s Hailey Webb, capping the scoring off at 8-1 in favor of the Mountaineers.
