In Division I baseball, there are usually very few question marks when it comes to Friday night pitching. Just three weeks into the season, a flurry of injuries have ensured Arizona State head coach Tracy Smith that he will have no such luxury.
While most teams across the country rolled out their aces for the final non-conference series opener of the year, Smith sewed a patchwork quilt of pitchers, pushing all the right buttons in a 10-0 victory over Cal State Fullerton Friday night at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. It’s their seventh straight win.
“It’s something we’re going to have to do this year,” Smith said.
