The Red Wolves (2-1) looked to bounce back and win the three-game series against the UAB Blazers on Saturday afternoon, after the Blazers (1-2) tied the series with a 5-0 shutout earlier in the day.

In the first inning, Ty White walked to lead things off for the Red Wolves. Joe Schrimpf laid down a sacrifice bunt, which advanced White to second. White then stole third, but was left stranded on the corner to end the first.

After bringing a run home in the first, UAB scored again in the second inning on an RBI single, increasing their lead to 2-0.

The Red Wolves saw some action in the third inning, loading the bases with one out for Tanner Ring. Ring singled one to left field, sending Jeremy Brown home to cut the lead in half. Garrett Rucker then hit a sacrifice fly to center field to tie things up.

Despite getting out-hit through the final six innings 8-1, the Red Wolves kept it tied until the ninth inning.

With two outs, Jake Bakamus and Frankie Alvarez both were hit by a pitch, putting two runners on base for Jeremy Brown. On a full count, Brown walked to load the bases. Ty White came in with a clutch RBI single to put the Red Wolves ahead. A wild pitch from Dylan Munger sent two more Red Wolves home to put them ahead 5-2.

A-State ended the game with a double play, and a Tanner Ring strikeout to win the second game of a doubleheader, and take the three-game series. Ring earned his first save of the season, as J.D. Miller picked up his first win.

Red Wolves baseball will head to Oxford, Miss. Tuesday to take on the Ole Miss Rebels at 4 PM.
