No. 13 UA softball again limits No. 8 ASU to 2 hits to even rivalry series with win

Perhaps Arizona State softball players expected it to be easier going against Arizona’s No. 2 pitcher Saturday.

Or that, like Friday in a 2-1 win, they would eventually find a way at home to squeeze by the No. 13 Wildcats again to clinch a Territorial Cup Series point.

Instead, UA sophomore Alyssa Denham limited No. 8 ASU to two hits in a 4-1 complete-game victory before 1,956 at Farrington Stadium. The Sun Devils also had just two hits Friday.

“We took some things for granted, I don’t know, but our plate discipline today was not good,” ASU coach Trisha Ford said.
