TEMPE Ariz. - In last week’s Utah series, Arizona State was three innings away from a conference-opening sweep when the bullpen imploded. The Sun Devils won the series, but left the Pac-12 season-debut with a sour taste in their mouths.
Four wins in-a-row against GCU and Arizona was the perfect mouthwash.
“This is why I came back here,” head coach Willie Bloomquist said. “I wish we could do this every home game and have this type of atmosphere.”
The Sun Devils (15-8, 5-1 Pac-12) completed the in-state rivalry sweep with a 10-6 win over Arizona (13-9, 3-6 Pac-12) at Phoenix Municipal Stadium Sunday evening.
