The Marshall University Baseball team secured its inaugural series with a 3-2 win over the Manhattan Jaspers on Sunday, March 3, the grand opening weekend at Jack Cook Field.

“It’s great to get a series win in the inaugural series here at Jack Cook Field,” head coach Greg Beals said. “We did it with pitching and defense today. We used a lot of our pitching staff. We mixed and matched throughout the game. The thing I really liked was almost everyone on the field made a big play on defense.”

In the bottom of the first inning, the Herd loaded the bases off the combination of a walk and two hit-by pitches.
