In his last at-bat on Friday night, Ethan Long ended the game on a home run. What did he do in his first two at-bats on Saturday? Powering two more home runs for the Sun Devils, en route to Arizona State (30-15, 14-9 Pac-12) beating Oregon State (31-17, 13-10) 11-6.
Long opened the game’s scoring blasting a two-run opposite field home run in the first inning. In his second chance against Oregon State starter Cooper Hjerpe, it was the same result. This time pulling a two-run shot over the left field wall.
Before Saturday’s contest, Hjerpe had surrendered one home run in 59 innings.
