The fans departed Farrington Stadium shortly after the 11 o’clock hour following Friday night’s comeback win in the opening round of the Tempe Regional. Arizona State left a little later than that with a quick turnaround looming as they took on San Diego State on Saturday afternoon.

Going into Saturday, Arizona State homered in 81 percent of its games this season (40 of 49).
