It took a wild comeback in the eighth inning, but in the end, the Sun Devils claimed their first sweep in the Willie Bloomquist era and reversed the narrative of their season in a 9-8 thriller over USC.
Through four innings, everything seemed to be coming up Sun Devils. The sun was shining, the offense was clicking, and starting pitcher Adam Tulloch appeared like he was regaining his stellar form from the first month of the season.
And then, all of a sudden, what was once a Saturday stroll to victory turned into a confounding 8-5 deficit.
