Well damn. We put up a good fight against a good team. Here's to hoping we can take the next one if not both!

Missed some opportunities to score with hitting not coming through in clutch situations. We sure did leave a lot of men on base, it seemed to me. That pickoff of the lead runner at second with no outs in the fifth really stung!

Maybe we can win tomorrow.:clapping:

Well, I've not mentioned this during the win streak, but stranded base runners have been our Achilles heel. (Even though it didn't affect W-L).

It will come together IMO. GBO!

Massive amounts of improvement between the last few years.

No doubt. This game could have gone either way. We had opportunities. Seemed from that game at least that our talent level is on par with other top 25 programs. Just need to execute.

Right now, I'm actually good with that. Next year, we will make a run at the title.

Which is what they did for game 2 and 3.

Game one a damn fluke because the vols 6-5 and 6-4 two come for behind wins in game two and three.
Vols invade Tempe leaving the sun devils with a bitter result.
