PHOENIX - Outside of a near-collapse in the ninth inning, ASU Baseball (2-0) played a nearly-perfect game Saturday against San Diego State (0-2).
Maybe it was the clear skies, or just a team still riding out a walk-off-high, but the Sun Devils played eight innings of error-free baseball with stellar pitching and timely hitting.
Speaking of, nothing was more timely than second-baseman Luke Keaschall’s (1-for-2, HR, BB) first at-bat of the day. On the first pitch he saw in the first inning, Keaschall, the leadoff-hitter, roped a wall-scraping solo home run to take an early 1-0 lead.
