After scoring a combined 17 runs over their first two games against the University of Washington, the Sun Devils’ bats went silent for most of Sunday’s series finale. Despite a late rally to send it into extras, ASU could not complete the comeback in an 11-inning 6-4 loss to the Huskies.
UW first baseman Will Simpson erased what had been a frustrating 1-for-5 day for the star Huskies slugger, working a 3-2 count off ASU closer Brock Peery to lead off the 11th before crushing the eighth pitch of the at-bat over the visiting bullpen in left field to give his team the lead for good.
