PHOENIX – Friday night’s battle between Arizona State and Omaha was played under uncharacteristic baseball weather, with colder temperatures and overcast conditions than those of the previous week. The cooler weather and the wind blowing in resulted in the Sun Devils uncharacteristically failing to hit a home run.
That all changed on Saturday afternoon, when the clouds rolled out, and the wind was calm, resulting in more favorable offensive conditions, especially for the long ball. The Sun Devils launched several long balls over the fences at Phoenix Municipal Stadium, and could have had a few more.
Arizona State baseball (2-0) launched four home runs as it dominated Nebraska-Omaha (0-2) 11-5.
