Arizona State (6-7) is now below .500 after dropping two games in Stillwater to No. 13 Oklahoma State (10-3). The Sun Devils have lost five in-a-row and seven out of its last eight contests, with these last two being due to the inability to get the third out on defense.
The struggles with two outs hurt in different ways in each of these games. In game one, Willie Bloomquist’s group got out to an early 3-1 lead and watched it dissipate within half of a frame. Game two was more glaringly about one brutal five-run inning by the Cowboys that ASU just couldn’t dig itself out of.
