Instant recap: ASU improves to 7-0 with dominant 16-6 win over St. John's

"In a pressure situation, ASU opened the sixth inning with four straight singles to score a pair of runs, easing its nerves at the plate. The offensive success spread like wildfire, as the Sun Devils burned St. John's sophomore righty Dylan Johnson for four runs before he could even record an out. By the time the blaze had been doused, St. John's chances at avoiding a sweep were in ruins."

"ASU put up six runs in the sixth inning, turning the Red Storm to ashes, as a two-run double from sophomore infielder Beckett Zavorek seemed to be the final blow. If the sixth inning wasn't enough, a five-run eighth placed the bow on a dominant 16-6 win. The Sun Devils continue their scorching start to the season with a 7-0 record, their best since 2019, as St. John's fell to 1-6."

Arizona State produced big offensive innings, scoring five runs in the third, six in the sixth and five in the eighth to beat St. John's 16-6. The sixth-inning outburst began with four consecutive singles and forced St. John's to use sophomore Dylan Johnson, who gave up four runs before recording an out. ASU starter Easton Barrett lasted only two and a third innings, issuing multiple walks, and Jaden Alba allowed two unearned runs. The bullpen then shut out St. John's until late garbage-time runs by Eli Buxton. ASU improved to 7-0; St. John's slipped to 1-6.
