ASU softball opens Littlewood Classic with win over Illinois State

No. 14 Arizona State softball defeated Illinois State 9-6 Thursday in the opening game of the Littlewood Classic at Farrington Stadium.

ASU (5-1) built a 5-0 lead through four innings before the Redbirds (0-6) rallied with four runs in the fifth. The Sun Devils got the four runs back in the sixth in a game moved up to a noon start due to weather.

Taylor Becerra drove in three runs and Maddi Hackbarth and Skylar McCarty two for ASU. Samantha Mejia (4-0) pitched 4.2 innings with Cielo Meza and Mikayla Santa Cruz finishing up.

"Today was just a different day," ASU coach Trisha Ford said. "It was rainy and cold in Arizona. I think it is good for us. It is good to throw some things at our team and see how they respond. I am happy with the win, but I still think we could have had some better at-bats, played better defense and thrown some better pitches in certain situations. At the end of the day, we got the win, and that is the important thing."

The Sun Devils play No. 4 Florida on Friday at 7 p.m., Central Michigan on Saturday at 2 p.m. and Utah State (1:30 p.m.) and San Diego (4) on Sunday.
