Box Score
Wes Cunningham belted a pair of home runs and Murray State hit four as a team, but it was not nearly enough as Arkansas State outslugged the Breds enroute to a 17-8 victory Tuesday afternoon at Reagan Field.
The Red Wolves (8-4) got on the board in the first inning as Todd Baumgartner blooped a single to center and scored on Murray Watts' triple into the corner in right field.
The Breds (4-7) responded in a major way in the home-half of the inning as they collected five hits and pushed across five runs. Zach Noonan started the rally with a single off the leg of the pitcher and scored on Cunningham's two-run homer to left center. Jason Laws doubled down the right-field line and scored on Daniel Hill's two-out double to center field. Bryan Propst closed out the scoring with a two-run shot to left center, his team-leading fourth of the season.
ASU pushed across four runs in the second as Jordan Castaldo doubled to right center and scored on Kyle DeGrace's two-run shot to left field. The Red Wolves made the Breds pay for a two-out error as Watts delivered a two-run single up the middle.
MSU regained the lead in the bottom of the second as Cunningham hit his second two-run homer of the game, this time to right center.
The Red Wolves gained their first advantage in the third as Castaldo started his second-straight inning with a double to right center and scored on a fielding error by the Breds. Michael Faulkner followed with a single and Giovanni Garcia delivered a two-run double down the left-field line. After a failed pickoff attempt, DeMoney delivered a sacrifice fly to center on an outstanding diving catch by Elliot Frey.
ASU reached double digits in the fifth as a pair of hits put runners on the corners and Garcia delivered a sacrifice fly to right center.
The Red Wolves would tack on seven more runs over the final three innings to raise their total to 17 runs.
MSU got one run in the eighth inning as Laws hit a solo home run to right field.
Brad Allen (2-0) picked up the win despite allowing seven runs on six hits over three innings. Marc Harmon (1-3) suffered the loss after surrendering nine runs, five earned, on nine hits over 2.1 innings.
Noonan, Cunningham, Laws and Propst each collected two hits as the team reached double digits in hits for the first time in seven games.
The Breds return to the diamond Friday afternoon as they open a three-game series with St. Louis. First pitch is set for 2 p.m. at Reagan Field.
