JONESBORO, Ark. (2/18/17) – The Arkansas State baseball team was outhit by the New York Institute of Technology 7-4 Sunday afternoon at Tomlinson Stadium/Kell Field, but showed a keen eye at the plate to walk 16 times en route to a 13-5 victory to sweep the season-opening series for the Bears.
A-State improved to 4-0 for the first time since 2013 and just the sixth time in school history with the win. The 16 walks were just two shy of the school record set in 1994 against Arkansas College (now Lyon College). Justin Felix was 1-for-1 with four walks, to tie a school record that was last accomplished by Zach George against Little Rock on May 16, 2015.
