In the biggest moments — even the wacky, unexplainable ones — a team looks to its star to step up. Kindra Hackbarth did just that for Arizona State (18-6, 1-3 Pac-12) on Friday night.
Hackbarth, who had doubled and advanced to third on an overthrow of a cut off, represented the game-winning run on third base in the seventh inning as her powerful twin sister, Maddi, stepped up the plate.
The Sun Devils decided to try a squeeze bunt that Maddi Hackbarth didn’t make contact on. Hackbarth got caught up at third and it and turned into a rundown.
