March 28, 2021 | Baseball
PHOENIX (March 28, 2021) – Washington State dropped the series-finale to No. 16 Arizona State 9-0 at Phoenix Municipal Stadium Sunday afternoon.
Â
The Cougars (12-8, 1-5 Pac-12) received hits from Jacob McKeon and Jack Smith. The Sun Devils improved to 15-5 overall and 4-2 in conference play after collecting 11 hits and received an impressive start from Justin Hall who worked into the seventh while striking out five.
Â
KEY MOMENTS OF THE GAME
ASU took advantage of a Cougar miscue and a couple perfectly placed hits just out of the reach from WSU infielders to push four runs across in the opening frame. WSU used a couple singles to put two runners on in the second but ASU ended the threat with a strikeout and a fielder's choice groundout.
Â
Cougar starting pitcher Dakota Hawkins was solid throughout the afternoon, striking out two while working into the sixth inning.
Â
Arizona State pulled away with four runs on five hits in the sixth inning for an 8-0 advantage.
Â
INSIDE THE BOX SCORE
Jacob McKeon hit safely in all 3 games during the series
