After taking the first two games of the Territorial Cup in dominating fashion, the Sun Devils had to grind out a long, tiresome and sloppy baseball game with their rival Arizona Wildcats, as the two teams combined to score 33 runs.
Arizona State (25-1, 8-1) grinded out a 17-16 win over the Wildcats (13-14, 2-7) to sweep the series, doing so for the first time since 2009. The game winner came off the bat of Alika Williams as he roped a grounder to short, causing shortstop Dayton Dooney to bobble the ball and sail an errant throw, allowing Drew Swift to score from third.
