In its fifth game in six days, ASU baseball (5-7) dropped the series finale to San Diego State (4-8) 4-3 on Sunday afternoon.
Boyd Vander Kooi took the ball for his first start in almost two years after undergoing Tommy John Surgery last year. Pitching coach Sam Peraza and head coach Willie Bloomquist continue to slowly ramp up Vander Kooi by easing him into deeper pitch counts. On Sunday, he recorded five outs.
Danny Marshall picked up the loss after an SDSU RBI single to break a 3-3 tie in the sixth, but the difference in Sunday’s game was the lackadaisical fielding.
