JONESBORO, Ark. – Arkansas State pounded out 13 hits and took advantage of three Bradley errors to score six unearned runs, completing an opening-weekend sweep of the 3-game series with a 12-2 victory Sunday afternoon at Tomlinson Stadium.

Bradley designated hitter Greg Partyka was 3-for-4 with an RBI, while outfielders Mike Tauchman (8 games dating back to last season) and Max Murphy (7 games) both extended their season-opening hitting streaks, but the Braves managed only one hit from the bottom five spots in the batting order.

The Red Wolves (3-0) got all the offense they needed in the first inning, taking advantage of two errors and three walks to score six runs on just three hits against sophomore left-hander David Koll (0-1).  Koll settled in after the rough first inning and did not allow another run in his 5.0 innings of work.

Six Arkansas State pitchers held the Bradley offense in check, though, limiting the Braves to two 8th-inning runs on seven hits while striking out nine.

The Braves will return to action with four games next weekend in Nashville, Tenn., beginning with a split doubleheader Friday against Ball State (12 p.m.) and host Lipscomb (4 o'clock).
