The storyline was paved for the Devils.
After trailing by three in the bottom of the sixth, back-to-back-to-back home runs from Trevor Hauver, Spencer Torkelson and Hunter Bishop knotted the game up at four. It painted the illusion that the ASU (27-6, 10-4) bats had come roaring back against a stout Beavers pitching staff and talented senior right-hander Bryce Fehmel.
But right when it felt that the momentum was about to swing, it came to a stalemate when Sam Ferri punched out with two on and two outs. Then an inning and a half later, it gusted back to the way of Oregon State (24-8-1, 10-4), who would prevail victorious 6-4 to even the series.
