(Photo: Dominic Cotroneo/WCSN) Arizona State lost on a walk-off walk in the 14th inning against Cal State Fullerton by the score of 3-2 in the longest game (innings-wise) in ASU postseason history. The Sun Devils jumped out to an early lead, but the offense stalled after the second inning, and the bullpen

ASU Baseball: Risks that don’t pay off hurt Sun Devils

(Photo: Dominic Cotroneo/WCSN) Many could point their finger to a single play in the Sun Devils' 7-4 loss to the Trojans and place the blame there. Johnny Sewald's attempted and failed dive in the seventh inning that led to three runs in a tie ball game certainly jumps out. "I had no

ASU Baseball: Sun Devils unable to complete sweep thanks to a six-run Arizona ninth off closer Ryan Burr

(Photo: Scotty Bara/WCSN) Coming into the night, a mere three of Ryan Burr’s 24 2/3 innings of work were 1-2-3 innings. Considering this alone, it would be easy to say that his strand rate finally caught up to him when he allowed a decisive two-run home run to Bobby Dalbec, after

(Photo: Kimmy Davis/WCSN) An inning removed from his shortest relief appearance of the season and an 0-for-3 night at the plate, Jordan Aboites needed a morale booster. The two-way second baseman-relief pitcher came through in a big way for both himself and his team, as his walk-off single in the ninth propelled

ASU Baseball: Woodmansee’s game-winning double and Burr’s history-making evening propel Sun Devils to 7-4 win

by Jacob Garcia - February 18, 2015February 19, 2015

(Photo: Kimmy Davis/WCSN) Colby Woodmansee hit .200 a season ago, and despite his defensive wonders at shortstop, was benched in the latter half of the season because of his offensive struggles. In 2015, he’s not only been a transformed hitter, but arguably the Sun Devils' best hitter. Woodmansee went 3-for-4 with two singles and

ASU Baseball: Examining the projected use of the wealth of freshman bullpen depth

by Jacob Garcia - February 17, 2015February 17, 2015

(Photo: Kimmy Davis/WCSN) The now-No. 9 Arizona State Sun Devil baseball team may have taken two of three from formerly-No. 5 Oklahoma State this weekend, but an interesting, counter-intuitive, stat revealed itself. ASU’s starting pitchers combined for 12 innings pitched, while the bullpen accumulated 16 innings of work over the three-game series. This reliance
