QUOTABLES
Head Coach Rodney Hennon
"It was good to bounce back after a tough one last night. Seth Shuman gave us a good effort, all three pitchers for us pitched well today. Tyler Martin's home run helped us loosen up and swing the bats a little better after that. It is always nice to go out with a win on Senior Day in the last regular season home game. Now we've got to continue to push going into the final week of the regular season."

SCORING PLAYS
Bot 3rd - ASU 0 - GS 3 - A two out walk to Steven Curry and a single by Ryan Cleveland set the table for sophomore Tyler Martin. The Eagle designated hitter clobbered the 2-1 pitch down the left field line for his seventh home run of the season.
Top 4th - ASU 1 - GS 3 - The Red Wolves stole a run back in the fourth with a leadoff single and a stolen base to put the runner in scoring position. An RBI single through the left side plated Arkansas State's only run of the day.
Bot 5th - ASU 1 - GS 6 - The Eagles got two walks early in the fifth to open the door for a crooked number.
