Right-hander Seth Martinez improved to 3-0 on Friday with a 12-4 victory against Eastern Michigan.
Seth Martinez was in trouble.
Arizona State's starting pitcher had issued three consecutive base hits to start the third inning of Friday night's contest against Eastern Michigan, a game that was already tied 1-1 heading into the frame. For someone who had experienced nothing but success in his first two outings of the 2016 season, the first sign of distress became a test of sorts for the junior right-hander.
He ended up passing with flying colors.
Martinez worked his way out of the jam without letting a run cross the plate, using back-to-back strikeouts and a weak popup to retire the side.
