A-State won two of three games in the regular season series in Arlington, but UTA won 8-7 in the SBC Tournament semifinals. The Red Wolves won the first game of the three-game set last season by a score of 5- with David Owen earning the win as three A-State pitchers combined to only allow one run. The Mavericks defeated A-State in the second game of the series 6- to give the Red Wolves its first conference loss of the season, but A-State bounced back to take game three 4-0 in an offensive showdown. UT Arlington ended A-State s season with an 8-7 come-from-behind victory after the Red Wolves held a 7-6 lead in the 8th inning. The Red Wolves and Mavericks met for the first time in history during the 969 season as members of the Southland Conference and A-State won both games over UTA by scores of - and -0. The two schools competed as conference foes until the 987 season and competed nine more times as non-conference members with UT Arlington holding a 6-3 advantage in those games, including a 5-4 win over A-State in Tommy Raffo s second game as head coach. LEE CONTINUES SUCCESS OUT OF THE BULLPEN A-State sophomore LHP Coulton Lee was vital in A-State s sweep of Houston Baptist last weekend as he entered the last game of the series in the seventh inning and closed the game out to earn his first career save in the Red Wolves - victory. Lee allowed his first run of the season, but it was an unearned run due to an error in the eighth inning. He only allowed two hits in three innings of work and has now thrown. innings this season and still has a 0.00 ERA. He s only given up three hits all season and has held opposing hitters to a.075 batting average. So far he s struck out nine batters against only one walk. ZUBER-STAR! Arkansas State sophomore starting pitcher Tyler Zuber ran his scoreless innings streak to 4 as he tossed six shutout innings in A-State s - win over Houston Baptist in the second game of a doubleheader last Saturday that clinched the sweep for the Red Wolves. It took Zuber a career-high 95 pitches to navigate the six innings, but he only allowed two hits and had four strikeouts against two walks against the Huskies. This season Zuber has solidified the Arkansas State weekend rotation after spending 04 in the bullpen. The White Hall, Ark., native has now thrown a team-high 9 innings and has only allowed four runs (three earned) with all of the runs coming in his first start. He has a.4 ERA with nine hits allowed, 3 strikeouts, and six walks while holding batters to a.34 average.

GLIDEWELL S RETURN A-State redshirt senior Jon Glidewell earned his first career victory in the first game of last Saturday s doubleheader (a 3- A-State win). The left-hander only needed 76 pitches to get through six innings as he gave up two runs (one earned) on three hits with two strikeouts as he improved to -0 on the year. The A-State bullpen of Cody Jackson, Tanner Kirby, and Adam Grantham threw three scoreless innings to nail down the win for Glidewell, who made just his second start of the season after last pitching in 0.

Tanner Ring and Jeremy Brown have both hit two each with Austin Baker and Joe Schrimpf adding one apiece to make up the total of six. Last season, Matt Burgess was the only player to have one through the first 0 games, but he made it count as it was a grand slam against Illinois State on Feb. 3. Speaking of grand slams, two of A-State s six homers this season have been with the bases loaded. Joe Schrimpf was the latest as he connected for one in the first game of last Saturday s doubleheader against Houston Baptist. The Red Wolves were trailing -0 in the top of second inning and had loaded the bases with no outs. However, two outs later no one had crossed the plate for the Red Wolves, but Schrimpf brought them all home and shifted the momentum in A-State s favor as they went on to win the game 3-. The Red Wolves hit three home runs against HBU as Jeremy Brown and Tanner Ring both led off innings with solo shots for their second home runs of the season. Ring s came the next inning after Schrimpf s grand slam to give A-State a 5- advantage in game one of Saturday s doubleheader. Brown led off the top of the fifth inning in game two of the doubleheader with a solo shot to give the Red Wolves a -0 edge. That run proved to be the winning run as A-State held on for a - victory. All in all, the Red Wolves had eight extra base hits and knocked in 7 runs with nine different players registering an RBI against the Huskies. HISTORY MADE IN GEORGIA A-State s series victory over No. 7 Louisville was the first series win over a ranked team since the 00 season when the Red Wolves took two out of three games versus 8th-ranked Western Kentucky in Jonesboro.

The Red Wolves had won 5 straight series finales before falling to Louisville 4-8 in the final contest of a three-game set. However, the - victory over HBU means that A-State has won 6 of its last 7 series finales dating back to last season. Last season, Arkansas State was 4-0 in the final game of every single weekend series the team played. The Red Wolves won the final game in each of its 0 conference series and also took the last game against Miami (Ohio), Illinois State, UAB, and Creighton in nonconference action. However, A-State was actually - in Sunday games a season ago, but the Red Wolves have yet to play on Sunday in 05 due to weather. The series finale against Illinois State was cancelled due to frigid temperatures and winter weather moving in to the area later that day. The Red Wolves were set to travel to Northwestern State the following weekend for a doubleheader against the Demons and Creighton, but instead opted to play Louisville in Emerson, Ga., for a single game Friday and doubleheader on Saturday with no Sunday game. Arkansas State was supposed to play a Sunday game against HBU, but the threat of rain on that day caused the coaches to agree to play a Saturday doubleheader instead.
