Bobcats run-rule Tarleton State, look for ways to keep improving

Texas State was up 6-0 in the bottom of the sixth inning of its home game against Tarleton State Tuesday, but Ricci Woodard wasn’t satisfied.

The Bobcats struck out in their last two plate appearances of the fifth inning and went down swinging again to start the sixth. The head coach had seen enough.

“We can’t go up there and not swing at good pitches in the zone and attack,” Woodard said. “I challenged them a little bit to kind of get back into doing the small things right so that we could make sure we’re getting better instead of just playing to where we needed to competition-wise. And so, I felt like we did a good job of finding our groove again there in the last inning and figuring out how to win a ballgame right there at the end.”
