WOODHOUSE SETS NEW HIGH IN STRIKEOUTS Junior Cody Woodhouse set a new career-high with seven strikeouts against Missouri on March 19. THREE TIMES AS NICE Sophomore center fielder Collin Massanelli tied the school record for most home runs in a game by hitting three against UALR on March 16. Massanelli is just the third player in school history to hit three home runs in a game. Kevin Kull Jr. hit three at UALR in 2005 and Randy Sugg accomplished the feat against Austin Peay in Massanelli hit a solo home run in the first inning and then had a 2-run blast in the eighth inning that hit off a light pole in right-center field.

He also tied the school record for most total bases in a game with 13 on March 16. TURNING THE TRIPLE PLAY ASU turned a triple play in its 6-3 victory over UALR on March 15. The triple play occurred when Bryson Thionnet tried to lay down a sacrifice bunt, but instead popped the attempt up in front of Seth McWilliams. The senior right-hander let the bunt attempt fall in front of him and quickly threw over to third base to get the force out. A-State third basemen Claude Johnson then threw to second base to get the force at that base after Blake Johnson did not run on the play. ASU second basemen Alex Potts then threw to first base for the final out after Thionnet never touched first because it was occupied by a UALR player. It was the first triple play turned by ASU under the Tommy Raffo era.

ASU has swept UALR in four straight series and has not lost to the school since UNEARNED RUNS Arkansas State and Missouri State combined to score eight unearned runs in ASU s 7-5 victory over the Bears on March 13. UXA DOES IT ALL Logan Uxa enjoyed one of his best two-game stretches on the base paths against Missouri State March Uxa tied a career high with two stolen bases on March 12 and the notched just the third triple of his career on March 13. A MIDWEEK OF FIRSTS Freshman Derek Birginske made his first career state on March 12 against Missouri State. He gave up just one run on five hits and struck out six, but did not factor into the decision. Freshman Adam Grantham earned his first career save on March 13 against Missouri State when he pitched the final two innings in relief in a 7-5 victory.
