The UALR baseball team already had control Thursday night when an opportunity it had used to beat teams all season presented itself.
The Trojans had already scored one run when they put runners on first and third with two outs in the eighth to bring Ryan Scott to the plate, forcing Arkansas State to make a decision. ASU chose to walk the Sun Belt Conference's leading hitter to load the bases
The Red Wolves then paid for doing so.
Dalton Thomas ripped a slider from Tyler Zuber off the wall in center field for a three-run triple, putting the final touch on the Trojans' 9-4 victory over the Red Wolves at Gary Hogan Field in Little Rock.
