It’s been Makenna Harper’s breakout year thus far. The Sun Devil left fielder added homered and drove in a total of five runs in Arizona State’s (16-1) 10-2 run-rule victory over Northern Illinois.
Harper cracked her fourth home run of the season in the bottom of the fourth. The three-run blast set the Sun Devils to finish the game early on Tuesday. She also drove in a pair on a single in the third.
She’s simply became another dangerous bat in the loaded Arizona State lineup.
“I think it leads back to just having an approach and just sticking to our plan,” Harper said.
