MONTGOMERY, Ala. - It was a wild back-and-forth affair between the Trojans and Mountaineers Wednesday morning from Riverwalk Stadium as Troy prevailed in their opener of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament thanks to a Kole Myers walk-off double in the bottom of the 10th inning for a 10-9 victory.
After being unable to close out the ninth, Noah Manning didn’t let that phase him as he took the mound in the top of the 10th and got three outs to set up the Trojans, who used a hit-by-pitch and a walk to bring up Myers who ended the game. With three home runs on the day, the 2023 Trojans have become the fourth team in program history to surpass 100 home runs, as they now have 102 on the season.
Appalachian State had its own All-Sun Belt First team member on the mound in Xander Hamilton. Hamilton was cruising throughout the first four innings, only allowing two hits, but the Trojans got to him in the fifth for four runs on two hits. Hamilton struck out five, walked three, and was done after 4.1 innings of work.
The second run of the game didn’t come until the top of the fifth as, once again, Appalachian State used a solo home run from Reed to double the lead. A one-out single put a man on that the Mountaineers brought home via another home run from Boyd to make it 4-0. The fourth run of the inning came on the sixth hit of the frame to give Appalachian State a 5-0 advantage.
