Coming off a five-hour marathon that featured a dramatic comeback against an in-state rival on Sunday afternoon, No. 7 Arizona State (25-2, 8-1 Pac-12) was right back to work on Tuesday night at Phoenix Muni.
With a chewed up bullpen that used seven different pitchers on Sunday, the Devils dug deep into their staff to try and pull out a win against Long Beach State (4-23). Unfortunately for ASU, the efforts weren't enough and they fell 14-9 to the Dirtbags, sustaining just their second loss all season.
“I had a bad feeling about this game all day today, I really did,” head coach Tracy Smith said.
