ASU Softball: Pitching, hitting woes continue in loss vs. UCLA

The struggles continued for No. 21 Arizona State as they suffered their fifth consecutive shutout loss.

Arizona State, after getting run-ruled 10-0 in five innings Friday night, played a competitive game versus No. 1 UCLA trailing 2-0 entering the fifth inning.

But then the Bruins began crushing the ball against pitcher Cielo Meza, who came on in relief for starter Abby Andersen.

Meza allowed three home runs in the final two innings, a two-run homer to Bruins catcher Taylor Pack, a three-run homer to outfielder Bubba Nickles and a two-run homer to designated player Aaliyah Jordan leading to the 9-0, run-rule defeat for the Sun Devils.
