Appalachian State 10 Wake Forest 5
BOONE, N.C. — Matt Andress tied Appalachian State University’s career wins record and became the program’s all-time strikeouts leader in the Mountaineers’ 10-5 victory over Wake Forest on Wednesday at Beaver Field at Jim and Bettie Smith Stadium.
Andress allowed just one earned run over three innings to earn the 25th victory of his career, moving him into a tie with Kevin Simmons (1983-86) atop Appalachian’s all-time wins list. Andress picked up the win in just three innings because the Mountaineers came into the game with a prearranged "split start," which allowed most of the staff’s primary weekend pitchers to get work heading into a six-day break due to final exams.
