Ethan Long slugs two more homers in ASU baseball win over Rhode Island

Ethan Long hit two more home runs Friday night, sparking Arizona State to a 9-6 win over Rhode Island.

The Pac-12 Player of the Week now has six homers in the last five games and has homered in six of the last eight.

Long, a freshman designed hitter from Gilbert, has eight homers overall, three shy of tying Barry Bonds for second in freshman school history. Spencer Torkelson leads that list, hitting 25 homers in 2018.

Tyler Thornton entered in the third and pitched 5 2/3 scoreless innings before giving up two homers in the ninth as the Rams reduced what had been a 9-2 deficit.
