JONESBORO, Ark. (3/1/17) – The Arkansas State baseball team fell behind to Missouri State early and couldn’t recover in a 13-0 loss to the Bears in a midweek contest Wednesday at Tomlinson Stadium in Jonesboro.
The Bears (7-1) were given 16 free bases (12 walks, four hit-by-pitches) by A-State (6-4) pitching in the game and were able to score 13 runs on just seven hits. The Red Wolves only registered five hits in the contest with Drew Tipton picking up two in the contest along with a stolen base.
Missouri State scored a single run in the second on a sacrifice fly before Jake Burger ripped a double down the left-field line to score two runs in the top of the third for a 3-0 advantage off A-State starter Zachary Patterson.
