SEATTLE – It took just over five hours and the fourth-longest game in Sun Devil Baseball history by innings played but, in the end, it was Arizona State that outlasted Washington in a 3-2 pitcher's duel that spanned 16 innings to claim the Pac-12 series opening on Friday night in Seattle.
The Sun Devils (17-8, 6-4 Pac-12) battled off threat after threat in extra innings, clinging to a 2-2 behind exceptional pitching and savvy defensive moxie and simply outwilling the Huskies (10-15, 2-8 Pac-12), who booted the ball around in the top of the 16th inning to allow ASU to score the go-ahead run.
