BOONE, N.C. — App State built a 7-1 lead through five innings and took a three-run lead to the ninth, but ULM used a six-run frame to pull out a 10-7 win and even the Sun Belt Conference series.

Luke Drumheller's two-run double highlighted a three-run first inning, and he added a solo homer in the third.
