Oregon scored six runs in the first two innings, ASU starting pitcher Adam Tulloch recorded just four outs, and the Sun Devils (24-26, 12-13 in Pac-12 play) had their worst day offensively in weeks, losing in blowout fashion to the Ducks (30-20, 14-11) by a score of 11-3 to open their final home series of the season on Friday.
Tulloch found himself in trouble from literally the game’s first pitch, which was whacked up the middle for a single by Oregon leadoff hitter Tanner Smith. Colby Shade followed with a ground ball to Sun Devils first baseman Jacob Tobias, but the freshman dropped the ball when trying to turn and throw to second, and both runners were safe on the error.
