Say what you want about college baseball, but the Cactus League had nothing on Phoenix Municipal Stadium from a competitive standpoint on Saturday night.
What looked to be an evening of smooth sailing early on for ASU baseball (1-1) turned into a no-punches-held clash with Dixie State (1-1), ultimately resulting in a 7-6 Trailblazer victory over the Devils in extra innings at a packed Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
“We try to preach to not beat [ourselves],” head coach Willie Bloomquist said. “Obviously that did not happen as planned tonight.”
Another day, Another debut
Cal State Fullerton transfer Kyle Luckham received the starting nod from Bloomquist and pitching coach Sam Peraza for game two of the opening weekend series.
