Game One
Maddi Hackbarth pumped her fist as Bella Loomis closed her glove for the final out. The monkey had finally been pulled off the Sun Devils’ back. Arizona State clinched its first series over Arizona since 2015 following a 8-1 win in the first half of Saturday’s doubleheader.
“It felt good to get that win, it felt good to put it on them,” Maddi Hackbarth said.
