Texas State pulls out series win over Arkansas State

Texas State playing loose again might’ve had something to do with John Wuthrich being back in the lineup.

The junior outfielder had been sidelined since Feb. 22 with an injury before making just his fourth start of the season on Friday. He swung for a base hit to centerfield in his first at-bat of the weekend and grinned when he reached first.

“It was pretty fun to write No. 7 back in the lineup, it’d been a while,” head coach Steven Trout said. “He’s worked extremely hard to get back and so we gotta make sure he continues to feel good … He was like a kid in the candy store. It was Opening Day for him again.”
