ASU Baseball: Sun Devils Back in Action Against Ducks

After taking a week off from Pac-12 play, ASU baseball is back to facing the Pac, taking on the Oregon Ducks.

After being unable to sweep Cal State Bakersfield, ASU baseball will be looking to sweep the Ducks and gain some momentum in the Pac-12.

Oregon is currently 6-9 in the Pac-12, and is right above Arizona State in the standings. A sweep would not only allow the Sun Devils to jump the Ducks, but they would also be only two games away from being .500 in Pac-12 play.

In order to get to that point, ASU will need to continue their strong hitting streak. For the past two series, runs haven’t been a problem for Arizona State and, with a pitching staff that is struggling, that has been the main reason for their success as of late.

Going up against Oregon will be a good test for Arizona State as they will be the first formidable opponent the Sun Devils have faced since their series against Cal back in early April.

If the pitching could come around for ASU, then this could be a scary team down the stretch. With a month remaining in the season, ASU will need to finish close to perfect to be a postseason team. In order to do that, pitching will need to improve and the improvement will have to last for more than just a single series.

After a disappointing start to the season, Arizona State has turned it around. They have a winning record in the month of April and with a good finish to April they have the chance to put themselves in the middle of the Pac-12 standings.

First pitch for game one is scheduled for 6:00 p.m. MST. Game two and three of the series are scheduled to begin at 2:00 p.m. MST and 12:00 p.m. MST respectively. All three games can be seen live on the Oregon Live Stream.
