GREENVILLE, S.C. - Aubrey Edens allowed just one run over eight innings and Chris Alessandria drove in three runs as Appalachian State University baseball won the game and series from Furman, 4-1.

Alessandria led off the second inning with a single to left field and advanced to third on a pair of base hits before scoring the first run of the game on a double play.

Following the run, Furman's (11-16, 5-10 SoCon) Barry Benton retired 13-straight batters as the Paladins evened the score with a run in the bottom of the third.

Wes Hobson broke up the streak with a two-out single in the top of the sixth and moved to third on Isaac Harrow's double down the first-base line. Chris Alessandria then drove both players home with a line-drive single to center field to give the Mountaineers (13-16, 5-11) a 3-1 advantage.

The Apps tacked on an insurance run in the eighth inning as Ryan Arrowood led off with a bunt single and advanced on hits by Rand Smith and Hobson before scoring on a ground out by Alessandria.
