Texas State Baseball completed its sweep over Arkansas State on the road this weekend, coming from behind to win all three games.
After suffering a 13-7 loss on Friday, the Red Wolves (4-13, 0-3 Sun Belt) came out with an early run on Saturday, going up 1-0 in the bottom of the second. But the Bobcats responded immediately. Senior centerfielder Isaiah Ortega-Jones led off the top of the third with a double to left center. Senior shortstop Dalton Shuffield followed it up two at-bats later with another double to send Ortega-Jones home, tying the game up. Senior designated hitter Wesley Faison singled up the middle to score Shuffield and take a 2-1 lead.
Neither team scored the rest of the way, giving the maroon and gold a 2-1 victory. Sophomore right-handed pitcher Levi Wells (3-0) earned the win, giving up four hits, two walks and one run while striking out six in 5.2 innings of work. Senior closer Tristan Stivors earned his fifth save of the year, giving up just one hit in the final two innings of the game.
