JONESBORO, Ark. (2/22/17) – The Arkansas State baseball team entered the eighth inning ahead 9-3, but Mississippi Valley State scored seven runs in the frame and held on for a 10-9 victory Wednesday at Tomlinson Stadium in Jonesboro.
Bradey Welsh entered the game to begin the eighth and struck out the first batter of the inning, Jackson Webb, but a wild pitch allowed him to reach base. The Delta Devils (1-4) then rattled off three straight singles as each runner moved up one base to put the score at 9-4 in favor of A-State (4-2). The next two at-bats saw a walk and throwing error to cut the home team’s lead to 9-6 and chase Welsh.
