Jack Moss was called upon to play hero for Arizona State. Coach Tracy Smith brought him in as a pinch-hitter in the bottom of the eighth inning as the Sun Devils trailed by one with runners on the corners and one out.
He scorched the ball and it dropped in for a single. It then found its way past Washington State’s center fielder Kyler Scancato, allowing Kai Murphy and Hunter Haas to score.
The timely hit proved to be the difference for Arizona State (14-5, 3-2 Pac-12) in Saturday afternoon’s 5-4 win over Washington State (12-7, 1-4).
