In their first road series of the season, the Sun Devils reaped the benefits of a fresh environment and broke out of a five-game skid on Friday afternoon in loud fashion, hammering the San Diego State Aztecs 13-5.
Entering the eighth, ASU (4-6) sat on a 4-1 advantage over SDSU (3-7), a score which would make most Devils faithful uncomfortable considering the performance of the bullpen thus far. However, the Arizona State offense didn’t leave it up to their arms today as the Sun Devils' offense exploded in the final two frames.
The likely cast of characters fueled what would be a nine-run eruption as sophomore stars Sean McLain and Ethan Long both collected hits to drive in three runs while senior leader Conor Davis continued his hot start to the season as he slashed three hits to drive in four runs throughout the game.
