There was no shortage of offense or untimely hitting on Tuesday at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. The ASU (27-7) bats sprayed runs across the scoreboard in part of a 12-5 win over Seattle University (8-26).
The Devils plated a run in every inning from the second through the sixth, with three different multi-run innings while the team hit .500 (5-for-10) with runners in scoring position in the midweek showdown. Eight of the nine ASU starters managed to reach base with everyone contributing in the re-jolted offense.
Yet it was all jump-started from an unlikely figure.
Freshman lefty Erik Tolman, primarily a pitcher for ASU, had recorded just 12 at-bats in 2019, was called upon to DH in Tuesday’s game.
