Tempe: Devils Get on the Board

By Jason Owens - June 01, 2007

Monmouth's Brad Brach got through the first inning unscathed, but it didn't take long for the Arizona State bats to make some noise. Kiel Roling, a .365 hitter -- good for fifth best on the team -- crushed a Brach offering over the right field wall to give the Sun Devils a 1-0 lead in the second inning.

It could have been much worse for the Hawks, with Brach facing Matt Hall with runners on second and third. But Brach showed why he's 9-2 with a 2.72 ERA, striking Hall out looking with a nasty curve on a full count to end the inning.
