The Mountaineers improve to 5-2 on the season with the two wins.

The Apps got the scoring started against Hampton in the second inning, Allie Cashion walked to and advanced to second on a wild pitch. She moved up on a ground out by McKenzie Phillips and scored on a bunt single by Meghan Smith.

ASU continued the scoring with five runs in the fourth and and six in the fifth. Sarah Rappe dealt the big blow in the fourth with a two-run triple that scored Michelle Gorzelle and Michelle Lighton. Appalachian invoked the eight-run rule in the fifth, aided by run-scoring singles from Dow, Smith and Sheridan Phillips.

Katie Boyd and Cashion each hit home runs to lead ASU over North Carolina A&T in the second game of the day.

Boyd hit a solo shot in the fourth to put ASU on the board and Cashion added some insurance in the sixth with a two-run shot to right-center.
