ASU Baseball: Long goes long for go-ahead blast to beat Utah

It looked like Utah would head to the bottom of the ninth inning with a chance to win it.

Matthew Sox had retired six Sun Devil batters in a row and had Ethan Long on the ropes with a two-strike count with two outs. Long didn’t fold, instead he lifted an outside fastball deep down the right field line.

As the freshman rounded first base, the ball snuck over the wall and just inside the foul pole, giving Arizona State (21-12, 9-7 Pac-12) the decisive 5-4 lead.

You come talkin' that trash and we'll pull your card.
