LONG BEACH, Calif. – Starting right-hander Seth Martinez turned in a dominant performance and a pair of three-run home runs powered the offense as Sun Devil Baseball defeated Long Beach State, 9-2, on Friday night at Blair Field.
Martinez (2-0) conceded just two hits across six innings and struck out five in his second straight win, and his no-hit bid was broken up with two outs and two strikes in the bottom of the fifth.
Three-run homers in consecutive innings from designated hitter Sebastian Zawada in the fourth and shortstop Colby Woodmansee in the fifth ignited Arizona State’s offense, which tallied a season-high 14 hits.
