The numbers just weren’t there for Arizona State’s baseball team on Tuesday night.
There were two dropped pop-ups, seven pitchers on the mound, eight walks issued, and 10 runs allowed.
The miscues added up to a 10-4 loss to No. 7 Cal State Fullerton in the first of two midweek games against the club’s developing rivals from Southern California. The defeat also marked the third straight loss for the Sun Devils (6-6).
“It’s going to be very difficult to beat a team like Cal State Fullerton when you walk eight guys,” said head coach Tracy Smith after the defeat.
