ASU Softball: No. 13 Sun Devils clinch third straight Pac-12 series on Sunday
There are no easy wins in Pac-12 conference slate. Sun Devil coach Trisha Ford knew that Sunday’s rubber match with Stanford (23-11, 4-5 Pac-12) was going to be a battle to the last pitch. She predicted correctly, but her 13th-ranked Arizona State (25-10, 6-6) team came out on top 4-2 and clinched its third straight conference series.
“Conference is hard,” Ford said. “It doesn’t matter who they are, it doesn’t matter if they’re ranked, unranked...It’s a grind...We got punched in the face on Friday...It was huge to see us respond and play our type of game.”
Arizona State played a team game with efforts from nearly everyone.
