Arizona State (4-5) led 3-1, before a 10-run fifth inning from Long Beach State (3-6) doomed the Sun Devils in a 16-4 loss on Wednesday night at Blair Field.
The Sun Devils took a 3-1 lead entering the bottom of the fifth inning when freshman outfielder Hunter Jump hit into a double play, scoring in freshman second baseman Alika Williams in the third. Freshman left fielder Spencer Torkelson rocketed his seventh home run of the season, as he and sophomore designated hitter Lyle Lin scored in the top of the fifth.
Then, the Dirtbag bats came alive.
