PHOENIX,
ARIZONA (February 20, 2015) The No. 8 ranked Arizona State University Sun Devils were
unable to score against the No. 1 ranked Texas Christian University Horned
Frogs, losing 3-0 at Phoenix Municipal Stadium in Phoenix, Arizona on Friday,
February 20, 2015.
The Sun
Devils pitching staff are averaging almost ten strike outs per game this year.
The Horned
Frogs were aggressive with stealing base attempts. Before this game, they were
second in the Big 12 with 8 stolen bases. They had 8 attempts, scoring one, but
were either thrown or tagged out by Sun Devil catcher Brian Serven on three of
the eight attempts.
When asked
how to slow down the Horned Frogs aggressive base stealing in the post-game
interview, Coach Tracy Smith responded “We’ve got to fight to not
over-analyze”. “They’re going to be
aggressive, I thought Serven did a pretty good job. Obviously we want to hold
guys close, but it wasn’t like they walked all over us.”
The Sun
Devils host the Horned Frogs for two more games this weekend. Game times are
Saturday, February 21 at 1:00 P.M. AZ time and Sunday, February 22
at 12:30 P.M. at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
