Sundays prove costly for Hawk baseball team
The Hawks have now lost three conference series games on Sundays; their most recent against Ark. St. ULM (17-13, 5-7) and ASU (14-20, 4-8) split the first two games of the series.
The first game was dominated by Arkansas State as they won 13- 2, but the second game was a battle for both teams as the lead went back and forth.
Caleb Clowers who went 4-for- 6 on the night put the Hawks went up 7-6 in the 8th inning before the Red Wolves tied the game in the top of the 9th.
In the 10th inning, Joey Rapp would be the hero as he hit a walk-off single to end the game with an 8-7 Warhawk win.
Sunday would see a low scoring affair for much of the game.
Kendall Thamm got the start on the mound and had a decent day until the 5th inning when he gave up three runs making the score 4-3.
It was all downhill from there as the Red Wolves mercilessly scored nine more runs including five from homeruns.
Schexnaider won’t hide behind injuries as the reason for the team’s recent weekend meltdowns.
“We’ve got to have other guys step up. Everyone goes through injuries. We’re counting on our guys that we got healthy.”
