Wyman Throws Five Scoreless in Relief to Lead Illinois State to Doubleheader Split at Arkansas State

JONESBORO, Ark. – Fifth-year senior Colin Wyman fired five scoreless innings on 42 pitches in relief to lead Illinois State in a doubleheader split Arkansas State (4-5) at Tomlinson Stadium-Kell Field on Saturday.

The 'Birds dropped game one, 2-1, before responding with a 7-1 win in game two.

Illinois State (5-4) got five runs in the 7th inning of game two on a two-RBI single from fifth-year junior Jake McCaw and a bases-clearing double from third-year sophomore Greg Nichols.

Fourth-year junior Derek Salata recorded a career-high eight strikeouts over six innings in game one.

HOW IT HAPPENED  

Game One

Arkansas State scored a run in both the 2nd and 3rd innings to lead 2-0.

Sixth-year senior Aidan Huggins and fourth-year junior Connor Olson recorded a successful double steal in the 5th inning as the ASU catcher attempted to catch Huggins at second base. The throw got away, allowing Olson to score.

Fifth-year senior Nick Gile singled in the 9th inning before pinch-running first-year freshman JT Sokolove swiped second. The Redbirds were unable to cash in as ASU closed the game.

Game Two

Illinois State scored in the 2nd inning as Nichols grounded home Gile, who led off the inning with a double.

A two-RBI single by McCaw gave the 'Birds some breathing room and a 3-0 lead before Nichols cleared the bases with a three-RBI double.

ASU got one back in the 8th inning, but third-year sophomore Matt Darr recorded a 9th-inning RBI single in his first at-bat as a 'Bird to push the lead to 7-1.
