The past two weeks have shown us that this ASU Baseball team (20-21, 9-9 Pac-12) can pretty much hang with anybody. The bats remain consistent, they climbed back to .500 (momentarily) and they play with fire.
However, in a three-game series, this team is at a serious disadvantage.
The consistency issues showed in Sunday’s 14-4 rubber-match loss to Arizona (28-13, 13-8)
Boyd Vander Kooi received another Sunday start in his ongoing revamp process, and he was touched up for his worst performance of the season. BVK allowed five earned runs in three innings of work, earning the loss.
