SCOTTSDALE -- Sun Devil Baseball couldn't shake an inauspicious opening frame as ASU fell to rival Arizona, 12-3, in the opening contest of the 2023 Pac-12 Basebal Tournament.
Arizona scored four runs on just two hits in the top of the first, a theme that would last through the day with ASU walking 10 Wildcat batters - including five in the fourth inning to effectively put the game away with the Sun Devils falling into a 9-0 hole.
Six of the Wildcat batters that drew walks would score and another that reach base on a hit-by-pitch.
