SEATTLE – No. 24/23 Sun Devil Baseball relied upon several highlight reel defensive plays, a bizarre inside-the-park home run and withholding a furious ninth inning rally to take an 8-6 victory over Washington on Saturday to even the series and force a rubber match on Sunday.
Isaiah Jackson robbed what would have been a go-ahead three-run homer in the sixth inning and followed that with a two-run inside-the-park homer in the eighth that proved to be the difference in the contest.
Luke Keaschall added two doubles and Jacob Tobias had a two-run homer and led the team with three-RBIs while Wyatt Crenshaw, Luke Hill and Jackson all had multi-hit days as well.
