SCOTTSDALE – Sun Devil Baseball came just shy in a pitcher's duel against No. 6 Oregon State on Thursday morning, dropping a 3-2 decision in the finale of pool play at the Pac-12 Baseball Tournament in Scottsdale.
Ben Jacobs was electric in the start, holding the Pac-12's top offense not named Arizona State to just three runs in 5.2 innings and striking out 10 with just two walks.
Matt Tieding, Sean Fitzpatrick and Ryan Schiefer closed the game out with no runs allowed to give ASU a chance but the Sun Devil bats were silenced in the second half of the game as Oregon State retired the final 15 batters of the game in order.
