Baseball Mar 22

JONESBORO, Ark.—Arkansas State rallied from down five in the first inning downing ULM 15-10 Saturday night at Tomlinson Stadium handing the Warhawks their first road loss of the season snapping a nation's best eight-game road win streak.

After recording two hits in the series opener Friday night, ULM (13-6, 6-2 Sun Belt) picked up six hits in the opening frame. The Warhawks out-hit Arkansas State 15-13 on the game, but ULM pitchers issued eight walks and hit five batters.

Jon Prevost led off the game with an infield double and scored on a single by Kyle Suire -- his team-leading 25th RBI. Dexter Fontenot drove home Ben Soignier with a sacrifice fly and A.J. Siggers blasted his fifth home run of the season pushing the score to 4-0.

Matt Collins and Nick Wade sent back-to-back doubles off the wall in right center extending the lead to 5-0.

Collins finished the game 4-for-5 with three runs scored while Matt Laird went 3-for-5 and Wade was 2-for-4.

Arkansas State (12-9, 5-3) pushed two across in the bottom half of the frame on a home run by Drew Benes. ASU took the lead for good with a six-spot in the second – all with two outs – sparked by pair of RBIs from Derrick Coleman and Murray Watts.

The 15 runs and 13 hits for Arkansas State are both season highs.

Wade drove home two more runs in the top half of the fifth with a single to left pulling the Warhawks within a pair, 9-7.

ASU quickly extended its lead back out to a comfortable margin with three runs in the bottom half of the inning and tacked on three more runs in the bottom of the eighth.

The Warhawks had a chance to cut into the lead in the top of the seventh with the bases loaded and just one out, but Chris Bullington struck out Prevost and got Soignier to fly out to right to end the threat.

Laird hit his second home run of the season in the top of the ninth and Ryan McMillan scored on a throwing error by ASU second baseman Brandon Eller to close the gap to 15-10.

ULM starter Drew Graham (1-1) got roughed up for eight runs on six hits in just 1.2 innings before handing the ball off to Scott Stephen. Jacob Maggard (4-1) picked up the win for Arkansas State despite allowing seven runs on 10 hits through five innings.

The teams square off in the rubber game tomorrow afternoon beginning at 1:00 p.m. The game can be heard live on The Peach 99.3 FM or online at ULMAthletics.com.
