Sun Devil Baseball Walks It Off Against Arizona For First Territorial Cup Sweep Since 2009
PHOENIX, Ariz. – In a game that featured 33 total runs over five hours, the No. 9 Sun Devil Baseball team escaped victorious after walking off in the ninth inning to earn a 17-16 victory, sweeping rival Arizona in a series for the first time since 2009.
Spencer Torkelson, Alika Williams and Lyle Lin all hit home runs on a day where offense was at a premium while pitching and defense were not.
Both teams combined for eight errors – four apiece – but none bigger than the final one of the game as the Arizona shortstop booted a ball with the bases loaded and two outs in bottom of the ninth on a Williams ground ball, allowing Drew Swift to score for ASU's third walk-off victory of the season.
