After losing four of their last five games to drop them to 9-13 on the season, the Arizona State baseball team enters this weekend’s Pac-12 series against the University of Washington in desperate need of some momentum. Following a brutal opening weekend to conference play at Oregon State that included a 21-0 drubbing by the Beavers, the Sun Devils added insult to injury with a 7-5 loss at home to Grand Canyon University on Tuesday.
Willie Bloomquist’s frustration with the team’s performance is becoming increasingly evident with each loss, as the first-year manager routinely reminds the media—and his players—how much he hates losing.
