GAME PREVIEW
• Appalachian State (16-36) closes the season the same way it opened it — with a game against a former Southern Conference rival. After opening the 2015 campaign versus Davidson back on Feb. 13 in Raleigh, the Mountaineers wrap up their 53-game slate against ETSU (19-32).

• While most teams across the country close their regular seasons this coming weekend, all clubs in the 11-team Sun Belt Conference have a bye scheduled in league play and the Mountaineers' falls on the last weekend of the campaign. With 12 losses by two runs or less in its first season in the ultra-competitive Sun Belt, Appalachian has been eliminated from contention for one of the eight slots in next week's conference tournament in Troy, Ala.

• Appalachian State and ETSU close their annual home-and-home series on Tuesday night. The Bucanneers defeated the Mountaineers, 10-4, on April 29 in Johnson City, Tenn. to hand Appalachian its first loss in the series since 2013.

• One of the Mountaineers' few bright spots in the April 29 loss at ETSU was junior second baseman Dillon Dobson, who hit two home runs in the game. With 12 homers this season, Dobson needs just one more on Tuesday night to move into the top five in Appalachian State single-season history to become only the fifth player in school history with 30 in a career.

• While seniors Taylor Thurber and Jeffrey Springs likely won't pitch on Tuesday night after making their usual starts over the weekend at UT Arlington and senior Jamie Nunn and departing fourth-year junior Alex Leach won't play due to injuries, Tuesday's game is expected to be the final collegiate contest for five Mountaineers — seniors Noah Holmes, Bradley Morton, Michael Pierson and Robert Whaley and departing fourth-year junior Brandon Burris.

• While Dobson owns the Mountaineers' longest current hitting streak at seven games, Burris and Pierson are right on his heels at six games apiece. Additionally, Holmes has reached base in five-straight contests.

• Appalachian State will have to fight off travel fatigue for Tuesday night's season finale. Although their three-game Sun Belt series at UT Arlington concluded on Saturday afternoon, the Mountaineers were not expected to be able to fly out of Dallas-Fort Worth International Airport until Monday evening due to severe weather that wreaked havoc with air travel in north Texas on Saturday and Sunday.
