SPRINGFIELD, Mo. — The ULM baseball team (5-3) erased a four-run deficit in the ninth inning and rallied back to defeat Missouri State (2-6) 9-8 in the opening game of the three-game series on Friday (Feb. 28) at Hammons Field.
Colby Lunsford, Isaiah Walker, Bryce Blaser, Henry Garcia Jr., and Jackson Landry all hit home RBIs as part of a seven-run ninth inning for the Warhawks.
The ULM offense registered 11 base hits, with five in the final inning. Five Warhawks had two hits apiece with Landry belting two home runs and Lunsford blasting a pair of triples. Walker, Blaser and Garcia Jr. each had one double.
On the mound, Adam Tubbs earned the win after completing one inning of work. Brandon Brewer recorded his first save of the season and tallied a pair of strikeouts. The Warhawks tallied eight strikeouts on the bump.
Lunsford belted an 0-2 pitch over the center fielder’s head for a leadoff triple in the first at-bat of the game. Isaiah Walker scored Lunsford on a sac fly to right to give ULM an early lead. Missouri State’s Taeg Gollert hit a solo home run over the center field wall to tie the game. ULM starting pitcher Ashton Bassett forced the Bears to ground into an inning-ending double play to end the first inning.
Garcia Jr. doubled and Michelle Artzberger followed with a single to start the top of the second. ULM was unable to cash in and Missouri State held the Warhawks scoreless after three-straight outs. Bassett recorded a pair of lineouts and a flyout in a scoreless second frame. Walker doubled with one out down the left field line for ULM’s lone hit in a scoreless third. With two outs, the Bears had runners at first and second. Bassett recorded his first punchout of the afternoon to keep the Bears off the scoreboard, and the game remained tied, 1-1, after three innings.
The Bears committed an error and surrendered a walk with two outs in the top of the fourth inning before recording an inning-ending strikeout. Curry Sutherland hit the Bears’ second solo home run to lead off the bottom of the fourth, giving Missouri State a 2-1 lead. Two more Bears reached base, but ULM catcher Tony Lindwedel caught Missouri State’s Max Knight attempting to steal third to complete the fourth inning.
Walker poked his second hit of the game in the top of the fifth and Blaser walked to put two runners on for ULM. The Bears maintained their lead after a fielder’s choice ended the top half of the fifth. Zach Shaw entered the game for the Warhawks on the mound in the bottom of the fifth and tossed a 1-2-3 inning.
Freshman designated hitter Jackson Landry drilled a 1-1 pitch over the left field wall for his first career home run and tied the game 2-2 in the sixth inning. Shaw sat the Bears down in order in the sixth and the game was tied heading to the seventh frame.
Jake Haggard drew a walk with two outs for the Warhawks’ lone base runner of the seventh. After a Missouri State single and walk, Caden Bogenpohl scored catcher Carter Bergman and the Bears retook the lead. Missouri State added two more runs in the bottom of the eighth inning and held a 6-2 lead heading to the ninth.
Jacob Billings pinch-hit for the Warhawks to start the ninth and drew a walk after working a full count. Jack Clark followed with another pinch-hit walk and ULM advanced both runners into scoring position on a Missouri State wild pitch. On a 3-2 pitch, Lunsford roped his second triple of the game and cleared the bases to bring ULM within two runs. Walker scored Lunsford on an RBI groundout and ULM whittled Missouri State’s lead to one run.
After Haggard took a four-pitch walk, Bryce Blaser tied the game and scored pinch-runner Ben Coke on a double and an error to even the score, 6-6. Garcia Jr. drove home Blaser on a base hit up the middle to give the Warhawks their first lead since the top of the first inning.
After Garcia Jr. stole second, Artzberger singled before Garcia Jr. was cut down at the plate for the second out of the inning. On a 2-2 pitch Landry hammered his second home run of the day to expand the ULM lead to three runs heading to the bottom of the ninth. Adam Tubbs recorded the first out of the ninth on a strikeout before handing the baseball off to Brandon Brewer. After Brewer struck out another Bear, Jake McCutcheon launched a two-run home run that closed ULM’s lead to one run.
Brewer finished the game by striking out his second Missouri State batter and preserved the save with ULM completing the comeback, 9-8.
Game two of the series between ULM and Missouri State is set for tomorrow (March 1) at 2 p.m. from Hammons Field in Springfield, Mo.

Summary:
- Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments on constitutionality of airport property tax valuation statute.
- Case involves valuation of Marriott hotel at Kansas City International Airport.
- Platte County assessor argues statute creates special tax advantage for airport properties.
- Missouri State Tax Commission reduced hotel’s valuation from $13.45 million to about $6.14 million.
The Missouri Supreme Court heard arguments Feb. 10 in a case challenging how a hotel at Kansas City International Airport was valued for property tax purposes and whether a state statute allowing deductions for airport property improvements is constitutional.
The dispute centers on the valuation of the Marriott Hotel located at Kansas City International Airport and whether a provision in Section 137.115.1 of state law improperly reduces the taxable value of certain airport properties.
At issue is a challenge by the Platte County assessor and the Park Hill School District to a decision by the Missouri State Tax Commission that resulted in a lower valuation for the 2016 tax year.
The assessor was represented during arguments by Stephen E. Magers, an attorney for Platte County in Platte City; Grady Hotel Investments was represented by Peter A. Corsale of McCarthy, Leonard & Kaemmerer in Town & Country.
Magers argued the statute effectively creates a special class of property that receives favorable tax treatment.
“This case concerns a truly novel item of the Missouri statutes,” he said. “It stands alone as the only statute within the entirety of the Missouri framework that gives a certain set of taxpayers a tax advantage of having real property located within an airport receive a deduction for new construction and improvements.”
The property at issue is a Marriott hotel located on land owned by Kansas City within the boundaries of Kansas City International Airport. The city leases the land to a private operator.
In 2015, Grady Hotel Investments purchased the prior operator’s interest in the property for about $8.5 million. As part of the transaction, Grady entered into an amended lease and concession agreement with the city and committed to making capital improvements to repair and renovate the property.
For the 2016 tax year, the Platte County assessor valued Grady’s interest in the hotel at approximately $13.45 million. After the county board of equalization upheld that valuation, Grady appealed to the Missouri State Tax Commission.
The commission initially set the hotel’s assessed value at zero using the “bonus value” methodology for leasehold interests, but the Missouri Court of Appeals Western District later reversed that ruling and remanded the case. On remand, the commission ultimately determined the hotel’s “true value in money” was about $6.14 million. The commission reached that figure after deducting the value of personal property included in the purchase and approximately $1.2 million in costs paid toward new construction and improvements made after 2008, as permitted under Section 137.115.1.
Magers argued that the statute operates as an unconstitutional tax break for properties located within airport boundaries.
“At its core, what the statute does is create a special kind of property that receives a reduction to its value based on new construction and improvements spent toward such possessory interests in real property,” said Magers.
He also said the provision treats airport properties differently from other commercial properties.
“A homeowner doesn’t get a reduction to their value when they get a new roof on their property,” he said. “But for property that is located within an airport boundary that undertakes new construction or improvements, there is a deduction to that value that the statute mandates.”
Corsale countered that the statute does not create a tax exemption but instead establishes a permissible method for valuing certain types of property.
“To me the answer is no. This is a method of valuation,” he said, arguing that the Missouri Constitution gives the legislature authority to determine how property is valued for tax purposes.
Judge Mary R. Russell questioned whether the deduction could potentially reduce a property’s value to zero if improvements continue over time.
“But couldn’t it be, at some point, a perpetual exemption,” she said, noting the statute allows deductions regardless of when improvement costs were incurred.
Corsale said the improvements ultimately revert to the city when the lease ends.
“What we are dealing with is a private company improving public land that eventually reverts back to the public,” he said. “At the conclusion of the lease, the public gets the benefit of whatever money they put into this property.”
SPRINGFIELD, Mo. (KY3) – A viewer named Donna asked KY3’s Fact Finders whether it is legal for tow trucks with emergency lights to run through a red light. The answer is yes, but with conditions.
Missouri law states that any wrecker or tow truck may proceed past a red stop signal or stop sign, but only after slowing down as necessary for safe operation.
What the law requires
Three conditions must be met for a tow truck driver to proceed through a red light legally: the driver must be responding to an emergency call, must slow down or stop to confirm the intersection can be crossed safely, and must have at least one lighted lamp displaying a red light visible from 500 feet to the front of the vehicle while also sounding an audible signal such as a siren or bell.
Terry Harden of Terry’s Towing said tow truck drivers can legally be treated the same as other emergency vehicles.
“You really could be treated just like a police car, fire truck, ambulance,” Harden said.
Not every call warrants running a red light
Harden said he uses judgment when deciding whether to exercise that legal right.
“If you call me for a jump start, don’t mean I’m going to run red lights and sirens to get to your jump start,” Harden said.
Dispatchers sometimes instruct drivers to respond quickly to emergency crash scenes, Harden said.
“They want you to be there faster than fast. It says, expedite, expedite. And that’s fine. I will expedite it,” Harden said.
