Another night, another pitching duel. But this time, it was the Arizona State Sun Devils (1-1) coming away with the low-scoring 2-1 victory over the Sacramento State Hornets (1-1) Saturday night at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
Sophomore pitcher Tyler Thornton got the ball to start for the Sun Devils and pitched a gem. While he allowed a few baserunners in the opening two innings, each time he pitched himself out of the jam with a reliance on his strikeout pitches.
Cleanest frame of the game for Thornton.
