ASU Baseball: Sun Devils can only go as far as Alec Marsh takes them

It was just another day at the office for ASU’s offense.

Ten runs, eight hits and eight walks against a Notre Dame pitching staff that left much to be desired if you were a fan of the Fighting Irish.

Heading into the season everyone knew that the Sun Devils offense was the strength of the team. A year ago, ASU finished second in the Pac-12 in slugging percentage and batting average.

But what Sun Devil fans maybe didn’t expect, or count on, on opening night was a dominant performance from junior right hander Alec Marsh. On Friday night, Marsh struck out 10 batters becoming the first ASU pitcher to strike out 10 or more batters since 2016.
