ASU Sun Devils Sweep Tempe Regional, Advance to Super Regional

TEMPE, Ariz. — Arizona State University's baseball team powered through the NCAA Tempe Regional last weekend, sweeping three games to advance to the super regional against Cal State Fullerton. The Sun Devils kicked off with a 9-6 victory over East Carolina, then dismantled top-seeded Coastal Carolina twice, 11-3 and 9-5. Over the three contests, ASU outscored foes 29-14 while batting .380 with 41 hits in 108 at-bats, showcasing offensive firepower under the Valley sun.

The pitching staff delivered clutch performances, using just six arms across 27 innings with a 3.33 ERA and only 10 earned runs allowed. This marked ASU's return to the NCAA tournament dance for the first time since 2021, drawing a winnable Los Angeles Regional path initially before hosting in Tempe. Fans filled Phoenix Municipal Stadium, breathing life into a program with a storied history, including 54 straight 30-win seasons — the longest streak in Division I baseball.

Now in the Big 12, the Sun Devils (record reflecting postseason surge) face a daunting super regional matchup with Cal State Fullerton, a perennial powerhouse. After early tournament stumbles like an 11-5 loss to UCLA in a separate regional, ASU refocused at home, setting up high stakes for Tempe baseball loyalists. The winner advances toward Omaha's College World Series dreams.
