McLain, Sun Devil Baseball Walk Off Fairfield to Advance in Austin Regional

AUSTIN – For much of the season, winning has not always been a glamorous affair for the Sun Devil Baseball team. Yet, time and time again, the youngest team in the NCAA Championship field has simply found a way to scratch and claw and will its way to victory in games by whatever means necessary.

So, for the Sun Devils on Friday night in the opening contest of the Austin Regional, it was indicative of the ASU season to find a way to win late and win ugly. They did it by overcoming a disastrous seventh inning on the mound to rally to a walk-off victory over Fairfield on Sean McLain's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth for a 7-6 victory over the Stags to advance in the winner's bracket and take on No.
