One team that has a lot of eyes on it is the Arizona State Sun Devils. They have been playing great baseball as of late, and their series this past weekend against a Big 12 opponent was another chance to show they are a top team in the conference and in college baseball. They faced a UCF team ranked among the best in the Big 12. It was not going to be easy for this team, as they were on the road and had to travel all the way to Florida for this series.

ASU Picks Up Quad 1 Series Win

It was a business trip for the Sun Devils, who once again showed they have what it takes for a special season and a deep run starting later this month. They got the opening series win last Friday, thanks to good performances from the pitching staff, the offense, and the defense. That is when this team is at its best. When they have all three of those things rolling, they are a hard team to beat.

Sun Devils Rolling

They had to play more than one game on Sunday after their Saturday game was suspended due to the weather. The Sun Devils dropped the second game of the series, which ended their winning streak. But with the quick turnaround, the Sun Devils came out in game three and performed well across all areas. Another good game from the pitching staff was plenty enough for the offense. And the defense this weekend was great.

With a win in game three, Arizona State clinched a Quad 1 series. That is something that will come up on their resume when they enter postseason play. Especially a Quad 1 series win that comes on the road. They will look to stay hot for their next series.
