TEMPE – A pair of fielding errors in the bottom of the 11th inning would undo the Sun Devil Baseball team in a tough 5-4 loss in the team's series opener at USC in Los Angeles on Friday evening.
Andrew Shaps went 3-for-4 with an RBI while Carter Aldrete finished with two RBIs as seven different Sun Devils posted a hit in the contest. The Sun Devil relief pitching staff was exceptional, not allowing a single earned run in over five innings of work on the evening.
Left-handed pitcher Eli Lingos toed the rubber to open the contest, going 5.
