Arizona State Stars of Game

Ky McGary - The center fielder reached base in all five trips to the plate. McGary collected three hits, walked twice, and also performed well as a fielder in another sign of Arizona State's true talent/depth.

Landon Hairston - The LF/1B continues to be one of the more versatile players on the Arizona State roster this season, and is a prime example of what can come of a local high school prodigy staying in-state to play for ASU.

Nu'u Contrades - The second baseman continues to possess one of the highest ceilings of any player on ASU's roster this season. The junior once again had a productive game with his bat, collecting two hits out of five trips to the place - knocking in an RBI as well.

What's Next

Arizona State is slated to take on four unique SEC opponents in the next week - Oklahoma, Mississippi State, Tennessee, and Texas A&M.
