Memphis Falls to Arkansas State 14-8 in Home Finale

May 10, 2022 | Baseball

Box Score

MEMPHIS, Tenn. – In their final regular season home game of the season, the Memphis Tigers (21-25, 5-13) fell behind 3-0 after half an inning, tied the score in their first trip to the plate, but then gave up five runs in the second inning to the Arkansas State Red Wolves (11-32, 5-18) in an eventual 14-8 loss. Memphis cut the deficit to four with a five-run eighth but never pulled any closer.

Memphis: 8, Arkansas State: 14
WP: Jakob Frederick (1-2)
LP: David Warren (0-3)
SV: N/A

How it happened:

After Warren retired the first hitter of the night, four straight Red Wolves reached base, as C Brandon Hager, LF Jaylon Deshazier, and DH Jacob Hager each had an RBI that put Arkansas State in front 3-0 after half an inning
Memphis responded against RHP Brandon Anderson (ND), as an RBI double by SS Ben Brooks plated CF Zach Wilson, while DH Jacob Compton followed with a game-tying two-run home run, as the game was knotted 3-3 after one frame
The Red Wolves sent 11 men to the plate in a five-run second, as all four batters Warren faced reached base and eventually scored, while B. Hager greeted LHP Logan Rushing with a three-run home run that put Arkansas State in front 8-3, a lead the Red Wolves never relinquished
Arkansas State added two in the third on a home run by 3B Ben Klutts, while a bevy of Arkansas State pitchers kept Memphis off the scoreboard until the eighth
Trailing 12-3 entering the bottom of the eighth inning, Memphis rallied for four runs against a trio of Red Wolves pitchers, as 2B Austin Baskin plated a pair with a two-strike, two-out single, while C Brennan DuBose followed with a two-run home run, as Memphis cut the deficit to 12-8 heading to the final frame
The Red Wolves tagged LHP Daniel Casto for a pair of insurance runs in the top of the ninth, while Memphis got two runners on but stranded both in the frame, as the Tigers fell 14-8

Notables:

Compton (3-4) and Brooks (2-4) each recorded their team-best 16^th multi-hit games of the season, while Compton's two RBIs gave him a team-high 11 multi-RBI games this year
Brooks extended his on-base streak to 11 games, while LF Ian Bibiloni (0-3) had his 19-game on-base streak end

Up Next:

With the home campaign wrapped up, Memphis will head to Cincinnati this weekend for a series with the Bearcats, with first pitch of the opener Friday set for 4 p.m.
The Tigers will then travel to New Orleans for a three-game set with Tulane before a trip to Clearwater for the AAC Tournament
