Strike Two: Meet The Indians
What a week it’s been for Arkansas State. First the Indians went to No. 2 Mississippi and scored a 7-5 win, then they opened conference play on the road against preseason Sun Belt favorite Louisiana-Lafayette and came away with a sweep. Arkansas State is sitting pretty at 8-4, with a 3-0 mark in conference.
One key for the Indians this week was they did not sacrifice their conference-opening series just to make a big splash nationally. They saved ace righthander Chase Ware, a junior transfer from Northwest Mississippi Community College, for the Ragin’ Cajuns and used five relievers to beat the Rebels.
"We went down there (to Oxford), and I’ll be honest, we expected to win the game," said Arkansas State coach Keith Kessinger, who played for the Rebels and was an assistant coach for them for four seasons. "Our guys get on the bus and they expect to win. We were thrilled to win, but we went about it in a way that wasn’t going to hurt us for this weekend. We opened up conference play this weekend, and we opened up with the team everybody thought was going to walk away with the league.
