ASU Baseball: How Hunter Bishop has followed Spencer Torkelson’s footsteps

With two outs in the bottom of the third, Hunter Bishop was up to the plate in a 1-1 count against his former Brewster Whitecaps teammate, Conor Grammes.

The Xavier righty is known for his fastball – a pitch that could top out at 98 miles per hour.

With that in mind, Bishop took his his old Cape League companion yard on the very next pitch.

His three-run home run to the opposite field gave ASU its first lead of the game at 3-1. The bomb was Bishop’s eighth in a season that was only 15 games old.
