Slam Marcos was back on the rails Friday as Texas State connected with four home-runs in eighth innings to pull off a comeback victory with an 8-7 win over the North Dakota State Bison.
After consecutive games where the Bobcats were held to a combined two runs, Friday night was about making consistent contact with the ball for third baseman Ryan Leary, who went 2-4 with two home-runs and three RBIs.
“Going to these at-bats, our approach was much better,” Leary said. “We were not striking out as much or swinging and missing. We were fouling a lot more pitches off and our outs were loud. We kept saying that after every inning that we were just lining out, but still hitting the ball hard. We knew if we kept grinding it out, good things were going to happen.”
