On a night that started with honoring the 1981 NCAA national championship team, the present-day ASU Baseball squad (25-26, 13-13 in Pac-12 play) gave Sun Devil fans plenty to cheer about as well, rallying for a 6-4 comeback victory to even a crucial series against Oregon (30-21, 14-12).
“[We] came out with a little bit more urgency tonight, which was good, special day,” head coach Willie Bloomquist said. “With the ‘81 team being here, a lot of great alumns, the last team to win a national title here, them being present just kind of drives home the point that that’s where we want to get to at some point.
