PHOENIX – Starting left-hander Brett Lilek tossed his first career complete game to power No. 9 Sun Devil Baseball to a victory against No. 2 UCLA, 2-1, in the series finale on Sunday at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
Lilek (4-2) did not give up an earned run in the longest outing of his career and allowed just five base runners on three hits, a walk and a hit batter. He retired the first 14 batters of the game before his no-hit bid was broken up with a two-out single in the fifth inning. His seven strikeouts tied a season-high as he threw 68 of his 108 pitches for strikes.
