ASU Baseball: Sun Devils outlasted by No. 18 Arizona, fall 3-1

PHOENIX — As the final out was awarded, Arizona fans shot up to their feet waving towels above their heads in celebratory fashion, as Sun Devil fans crawled out of their seats.

It was a loss that put Arizona State (23-28, 8-18 Pac-12) officially out of contention for a .500 or better season for the first time since 1985 when the Sun Devils finished 31-38.

ASU lost 3-1 to No. 18 Arizona (35-17, 14-12 Pac-12) for a second consecutive time on Friday night at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.

Left hander Eli Lingos (6-5) had one of his more impressive starts as he faced a UA team that averages eight runs per contest.
