Wolves squander lead, then prevail
An inning after Arkansas State University squandered the last run of a 6-0 lead, Sky-Lar Culver sent the Red Wolves back in front for good with a three-run double in the top of the ninth to secure a victory in Pool D of the Sun Belt Conference Tournament on Tuesday.
Culver drove in four at Riverwalk Stadium in Montgomery, Ala., as the West Division No. 5 seed Red Wolves (19-29, 11-14 Sun Belt) slugged four home runs in a 9-6 victory over Troy, their first in the conference tournament since 2017. Drew Tipton notched three hits and scored twice, and home runs from Culver, Jared Toler, Garrett Olson and Liam Hicks powered ASU past East Division No. 3 seed Troy (27-24, 13-12).
