PHOENIX, Ariz. --- In a game where hits were scarce and run were moreso, a pair of hit batters did UNM in. The No. 27 Arizona State Sun Devils got a walk-off single from Andrew Shaps with one out in the ninth to drive in Colby Woodmansee who was hit by a pitch to give ASU a 1-0 win.
The loss gave the series sweep to Arizona State and dropped UNM to 30-16, and the Lobos have now lost four of their last five. Arizona State improved to 26-15.
The loss put a damper on a brilliant performance on the hill by Colton Thomson, who allowed just three hits and no walks with seven strikeouts in seven shutout innings.
