EUGENE – The No. 10 Sun Devil Baseball team escaped jam after jam on Saturday evening, rallying from a four-run deficit to send the game to extra innings. But ASU could only play with fire for so long before Oregon's walk-off home run in the 12th inning handed ASU its first loss of the season in a 5-4 defeat.
Evan Williams's solo home run in the bottom of the 12thended ASU's season opening winning streak at 21 games. ASU was the lone remaining undefeated team in the country entering Saturday night. The Sun Devils 21 consecutive wins are tied with the 1961 team for the second-best start in program history.
