Relaying information from the baseball diamond every day can get repetitive, so here are House of Sparky’s inning-by-inning takeaways from the Arizona State’s (8-10) 6-4 loss Sunday evening to Mizzou (11-2).
First Inning, 1-0 Mizzou
The top of the first was a whirlwind. Fellow House of Sparky writer Ricky Weipz and myself split duties for the doubleheader Saturday, and I spent the first five minutes anxiously waiting for his seat in the front row. He wouldn’t leave, so I made the hesitant trek to the empty top row of the press box.
Anyway, Mizzou scored first via an RBI double off Sun Devil starter Jacob Walker (5 IP, 3 ER, 2 K, 2 BB) in its first at-bats.
