PHOENIX - Arizona State (6-5) was swept for the first time this season after UC Irvine (10-1) won Sunday’s game 7-2 at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
The Anteaters finished the series with five innings with four-or-more runs scored. One of those came in the first inning Sunday when Irvine tagged Sun Devil starter Timmy Manning for four first-inning runs and a rapid 4-0 lead. Manning recorded just one out in his start, walking two, allowing three hits, and also hitting a batter. His ERA now sits at 10.00.
Irvine tacked-on singular runs in the second and fifth innings while the ASU bats went silent.
