The Sun Devils were on the verge of a conference-opening sweep to start Pac-12 play when they held a 6-0 lead over Utah Sunday afternoon. The Utes (8-11, 2-4 Pac-12) eventually flipped the game on its head, and scored 11 unanswered runs to beat Arizona State (12-8, 2-1 Pac-12).
Outfielder Wyatt Crenshaw (1-for-4, 2 RBI) homered in the first inning for his fourth long-ball of the season. Luke Keaschall (2-for-4, RBI, R, 2B) and Jacob Tobias (1-for-5, RBI) added RBI-base hits for an early 3-0 Sun Devil lead. ASU recorded first-inning runs in 13 of its first 20 games this season.
