College Baseball: Texas State surfs by Islanders for 4-1 victory in midweek tilt

When Joe Powell walked into a proverbial hornet's nest in the seventh inning, Ty Harrington's message to his senior reliever wasn't anything special.

On the contrary, it was rather simple.

"He (Harrington) told me, 'Joe, get a ground ball. That's what we need,'" the senior said.

Powell had a different idea — although it was just as effective.

After being called upon from the bullpen with the bases loaded, no outs and Texas State's two-run lead in serious jeopardy, Powell struck out not one, not two but all three batters Texas A&M-Corpus Christi sent to the plate against him.
