“Everyone’s playing relaxed after that. Just kind of take a deep breath and just getting outs at that point,” freshman designated hitter Gage Workman said of Arizona State’s early leads in last week’s wins over Oklahoma State.
And in it’s series opening 9-4 win over UNC-Wilmington (9-4) on Friday, the Sun Devils (8-6) were again relaxed early. Arizona State got out to a 4-0 lead in the first inning as it capitalized on a few of the Seahawks’ mistakes.
Junior center fielder Gage Canning opened the frame with a single, which extended his hitting streak to 14.
