ASU won 16-5 in the finale with Hunter Bishop and Spencer Torkelson each going 4-of-5 and Bishop hitting his first home run.

For the weekend, Torkelson was 9-of-14 with nine RBIs and Bishop 8-of-14 with seven runs scored.

Junior college transfer RJ Dabovich pitched (1-0) five innings, giving up four hits and three runs with four strikeouts and five walks. Five others pitchers covered the remaining four innings.

Aldrete homers twice, ASU baseball scores 20 in another rout

ASU erupted for seven runs in the fifth inning and six in the sixth Saturday night in a 20-7 win over Notre Dame.

ASU (2-0) led 3-1 early then trailed 5-3 at Phoenix Municipal Stadium before putting the Irish (0-2) away with a second straight double-digit scoring performance (30 combined runs in two games).

The Sun Devils batted around – 10 to the plate -- in the deciding fifth. Key hits came from Gage Workman, an inside-out double to tie the game; Hunter Bishop, two-run single; and Carter Aldrete, two-run homer to the new bullpen in left, ASU’s first of the season.

As if that barrage wasn’t enough, ASU batted nine in the sixth, scoring six runs capped by Aldrete’s second homer to the left-field bullpen, a three-run shot.

"I know I got one of them pretty good," Aldrete said. "The second one, the wind was blowing a little bit. The fences getting moved in changes our whole aspect as a team. Those balls were outs last year.

"Running the bases becomes a little bit more vital because if you're on first base and someone hits a double, you might not be scoring. Besides that, it plays in our advantage with our lineup."

Aldrete, a junior, had a career-high six RBIs. He played in right field and at second base.

Seven Sun Devils hit two or more hits including Workman with four. Five players had multiple RBIs.

Freshman Blake Burzell pitched two innings and earned the win. Boyd Vander Kooi started, giving up six hits and five runs over 3 2/3 innings.

"He's trying to maybe do too much," ASU coach Tracy Smith said. "Once things turned a little bit on him, he'd get angry then he'd show the stuff he's capable of doing. I've never seen that out of him. The good part was the team picked him up, and he can get that out of his system and next time he'll be better."

ASU goes for a season-opening sweep at 12:30 p.m. Sunday. "I told everybody to wear black because it's going to be their funeral," Aldrete said. "We're just going to come ready to play, and our bats are going to be even more explosive because it's going to be hot and sunny."

ASU bolted to a 3-1 lead with five hits in its half of the first including RBI singles by Aldrete and Workman.

The Sun Devils turned a double play to end the Irish second.

In the third, Notre Dame senior Eric Gilgenbach launched a two-run homer to left center. The Irish scored a third run on Boyd Vander Kooi’s second wild pitch of the inning for a 4-3 lead.

Vander Kooi pitched into the fourth before being replaced by Sam Romero with two on and two out. Daniel Jung singled to score a run then ASU successfully executed a two-player rundown to avert further damage.

Notre Dame changed pitchers with two outs in the ASU fourth, switching from left-hander Cameron Brown to righty Andrew Belcik. Down 0-2, Lyle Lin golfed a single to left scoring a run and trimming the Irish lead to 5-4.
