Maryland 5 Old Dominion 2

NC State 4 Towson 3

RALEIGH, N.C. – Someone had to drive in a run, and Ryan Pond turned out to be the right man for the job. NC State and Towson carried a 3-3 tie into extra innings Tuesday at Doak Field at Dail Park, and Pond ended it with a leadoff home run in the bottom of the 10th inning, his third long ball of the season.

Pond’s homer capped a long, uphill struggle against the Tigers, who jumped to a 3-0 lead through 2 ½ innings. Two of the runs came off Wolfpack starter Jeff Stallings, who walked two, hit a batter with the bases loaded and was unable to get out of the first inning. Greg Furmanek’s RBI groundout in the top of the third pushed the Towson lead to 3-0.

Appalachian State 22 Wake Forest 6

 

March 18, 2008 – BOONE, N.C. – On the strength of a school-record 27 hits, Appalachian State University baseball completed a season sweep of local-rival Wake Forest with a resounding 22-6 victory in Tuesday’s home opener at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium.

Thirteen different players banged out hits for Appalachian (11-8), which completed its first season sweep of Wake Forest since 1996. When ASU defeated Wake, 18-8, on Feb. 27 in Winston-Salem, its 18 runs were the most ever scored against an Atlantic Coast Conference foe. However, Appalachian well surpassed that mark on Tuesday en route to outscoring WFU by a combined 40-14 in two matchups this season.
