TEMPE, Ariz. — A go-ahead eighth-inning blast from Nick McLain lifted the Sun Devils to a 2-1 win and a series victory over the UCLA Bruins. The win secured the number five seed in the Pac-12 tournament and keeps ASU in the mix for an NCAA tournament berth.
UCLA struck first in the second inning on a solo home run from JonJon Vaughns. Ryan Campos tied it with a solo shot of his own in the fourth.
It was a bullpen day for both teams on the bump, and neither pen disappointed. Both teams combined for just 13 baserunners throughout the game.
