ASU Baseball: Sun Devils fall to Cal State Fullerton in 14 innings, now face elimination

A risky decision from ASU coach Tracy Smith that led to a loss to the Titans put the Sun Devils in an elimination situation in the NCAA Fullerton Regional.

With two outs in the bottom of the sixth inning and the go-ahead run standing 90 feet away for Cal State Fullerton, Sun Devil coach Tracy Smith made a decision that would end up changing the course of the entire regional.

Wanting to desperately win Saturday's game and avoid the godforsaken loser's bracket, Smith opted to burn his starter for game three in an attempt to escape the jam.
