Sun Devils Walk It Off for 21st Win of Season
The 9-8 Arizona State win over South Mississippi was due largely to Josh Sweet. The Sun Devils center fielder belted 2 home runs, while adding 6 RBI and scoring twice. Arizona State pitcher Art Mull earned the win, hiking his record to 1-1. Mike Marshall suffered the loss. The first-place Sun Devils have a one-game lead in their division.

The clutch at-bat came in the bottom of the ninth inning, when Arizona State right fielder Craig Stein, facing Mike Marshall, had a run-scoring sacrifice fly. It gave the Sun Devils the 9-8 win.

"This place was rocking at the end," Stein said.
