Devils sweep Bruins in Tempe

The Sun Devil baseball squad took a two game lead in the Pac-10 with a sweep of UCLA at Packard Stadium this weekend.

The Devils look like the real deal this year. In every game they rallied from a deficit to win. Today they were down 9-3 and rallied to win 11-10. Friday they were down 14-7 and won 16-14 and Saturday they scored two in the bottom of the ninth to win 5-4.

They keep playing like this and they are certain to host a regional (a given if they win the conference) and ultimately a super-regional should they get to that point. I continue to be extremely impressed with Ike Davis, son of former Cy Young winner Mark Davis. Ike is all-world for the Devils whether its hitting, defense or pitching, he is flat-out a difference maker for them right now. The kid went 2-4, scored 2 runs and pitched a scoreless 2/3rd of an inning late in the game.
