PHOENIX – Sun Devil Baseball rode another Ethan Long power surge to a 9-6 victory on Friday evening at Phoenix Municipal Stadium against Rhode Island.
In the two programs' first meeting in history, the Sun Devils (23-14) came out on top thanks to a dynamic and relentless offensive effort. Arizona State scored at least one run in six of eight innings, overcoming a brief early deficit to overpower the Rams (17-17-1).
Tyler Thornton found himself in a different role, coming out of relief after right-hander Brock Peery got the start and Brady Corrigan earned the win after firing a scoreless second inning.
