Texas State head coach Ty Harrington stuck with Nick Fraze.
The junior right-handed pitcher kept Arkansas State hitless through the first three innings of the Bobcats’ game against the Red Wolves inside Bobcat Ballpark on Friday. Fraze also picked up his second strikeout of the night against the visitors’ leadoff hitter in the top of the fourth inning.
But after Arkansas State senior first baseman Kyle MacDonald reached on an error, Fraze made his first mistake of the night. Junior designated hitter Sky-Lar Culver blasted a ball over the right centerfield fence for a two-run homer. Fraze slipped up again two at-bats later, as redshirt senior third baseman Alex Howard drilled a solo home run to left field to give the Red Wolves a 3-0 lead.
