And he does it again. Banks with the walk off HR and his 3rd of the day! App wins 6-5. Huge win here guarantees us a top 6 conference finish!

Holy moly Banks!!!!!

Someone tell the GaSo coach to shut the hell up and quit bitching. Game is over. You chose to pitch to him! Was pitching him outside and then decided to try to come in. I saw the catcher set up and couldn't believe the pitch they were going to throw.

[APPChad90]

I guess Stink coach ain’t so smart after all. Should have walked Banks. What a game kid!!! Back in 45 min

Banks Tolley is NOT human!

GO APPS!!

[BambooRdApp]

Love how we won that game.. especially given the glove check on 33 earlier in the game..Stink is trash!

[APPChad90]

That was an All Time great performance against our rival Mr. Banks Tolley! You just sealed your place in Appalachian State lore.

Getting the win over the gnats in a walkoff? Great
Getting into the double-bye part of the tournament with a win over the gnats? Priceless.

He hung a breaking ball on the outside of the plate. Should never have thrown him anything hittable. Jam him inside or throw low. Heck, the ump liked those low strikes.

So, I guess the second game isn’t going to be on ESPN+, because of course not? Sometimes Appalachian can’t keep from Appalachianing.

[AppinVA]

Found it. I was going through the Appstatesports site. Foolish me.

Harris with the strike out to end the 2nd for southern, stranded a runner on third. App up for bottom of 2nd leading 1-0,

[t4pizza]

3 up 3 down for App (strike out, and 2 fly outs), still 1-0 App headed to the third inning.

[t4pizza]

Walk the first batter to start the inning, followed by a hard grounder down third base line that scored the runner from first. Tied 1-1 with no outs and runner on second. We just hit the next batter so 1st and 2nd with no outs

[t4pizza]

Can't let the first three batters reach base to start any inning.

[t4pizza]

Pitching change. Tut comes in, and gives up liner to right for a single that scores a run. Runners on the corners, no outs, 2-1 bad guys.

[t4pizza]

Long foul to deep right, caught for first out but runner on third tags and scores. 3-1 southern. I would have let it drop foul myself, but I didn't play at App either so what do I know.

[t4pizza]

Pop up to short for second out.

[t4pizza]

NIce play by Tut on the come back to the mound. Sticks his glove out but ball defects off, chases it down for a couple steps and makes throw to first in time for final out of the inning. Time to make up some runs. 3-1 southern,

[AppinVA]

Their catcher is allowed to frame the plate. Church? Nope.

[t4pizza]

Dang, Banks gets HBP. Clearly retaliation for his game one heroics. Time to make them pay CJ
