ASU Baseball: Unable to close-out sweep, Sun Devils fall to Cal State Bakersfield, 8-6

PHOENIIX — Arizona State (18-20, 5-10 Pac-12) fell 8-6 at the hands of Cal State Bakersfield (20-15) on Sunday afternoon.

Just seven hits and two runs stood on the board in what was a 1-1 pitcher’s affair, until an action packed 10-run, 10-hit six sixth inning hit that brought the Sun Devils and Roadrunners to tie 6-6.

Senior right-hander Eder Erives tied his longest start this season (five innings) allowing four runs on six hits before ending his start in a disastrous five-run sixth inning. After allowing three straight hits in the sixth without recording an out, Hingst gave up two earned runs over three batters and Sam Ferri, who made his pitching debut, ended the top half of the inning.
