Even with a 1-0 lead, Arizona State (5-2) was in trouble early when Florida-transfer Timmy Manning allowed his first three batters to reach base safely.
All three runs would score, and Mississippi State (5-3) didn’t look back in its 16-3 win over the Sun Devils.
Freshman Luke Hill and junior Ethan Long led all ASU hitters with each going 2-for-4 with a run and an RBI. Hill homered in the third inning for his first-career collegiate home run. Long added a solo-shot of his own in the eighth inning.
NUKE.
