After a weekend of offensive fireworks for both Arizona State and Nevada, trends indicated Tuesday night’s matchup would be another procession around the base paths and a high octane offensive affair at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
Instead, both pitching staffs turned in stellar performances on a night where the bullpen door swung open repeatedly, and mother nature dampened the offensive fireworks with light rain and cool temperatures.
Arizona State won their only game this season with Nevada 3-1. Three days after the Wolfpack scored 20 runs against Grand Canyon and two days after the Sun Devils plated 17 runs and hammered two grand slams against Dixie State, a combined four runs crossed for either side.
