Sun Devil Baseball suffered an 8-4 loss to the UCLA Bruins in their first road game of the season at Jackie Robinson Stadium. Despite a strong bullpen performance, a pair of big innings from UCLA made the difference in the game. Jacob Tobias was a standout for ASU, going 4-for-4 with all four RBIs and a home run. The Sun Devils allowed four unearned runs in the second inning and a grand slam in the fourth inning. The bullpen held UCLA scoreless after the grand slam, with Jonah Giblin, Sean Fitzpatrick, and Eli Buxton combining for 4.0 innings of scoreless work.
Jacob Tobias’ impressive performance earned him Player of the Game, with notable achievements including a 32-game on-base streak and 34 RBIs in his last 14 games. However, ASU struggled to generate offense beyond Tobias’ contributions and ultimately fell short. The team will look to bounce back in their next game against UCLA on February 26th at 2 p.m. at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
