Baseball edges Oregon
<p><a href="http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/maggi_drew00.html">Drew Maggi's</a> first career home run, a solo shot in the third inning, was all the offense that top-ranked Arizona State would need, as they extended their season-opening winning streak to 24 games in a 1-0 win over Oregon at PK Park. The win puts the Devils at 24-0, 4-0 in Pac-10 play. It was Arizona State's first 1-0 game since a win over Oregon State in Tempe on April 7, 2000.</p><separator></separator><p><a href="http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/blair_seth00.html">Seth Blair</a> (5-0) was magnificent for ASU on the mound, going seven shut out innings allowing only five hits while striking out five to earn the win. <a href="http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/lambson_mitchell00.htm… Lambson</a> pitched the eighth inning before giving way in the ninth to closer <a href="http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/swagerty_jordan00.html… Swagerty</a>. Neither allowed a hit, as Swagerty picked up his eighth save of the season.</p><separator></separator><p>Oregon starter Tyler Anderson was just as impressive as Blair, allowing only four hits while striking out 10 in a complete game. The only run he allowed was Maggi's homer, but it was enough to saddle Anderson with the hard-luck loss, dropping him to 4-3.</p><separator></separator><p>Maggi's dinger came with one away in the third, and the Sun Devils would muster only two other base runners the rest of the way against Anderson.</p><separator></separator><p>The Ducks made things interesting in the ninth, as they had the tying run at second with one out, but Swagerty was able to get a strike out and a ground out to end the game.</p><separator></separator><p><a href="http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/calhoun_kole00.html">K… Calhoun</a>, <a href="http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/wilson_zach00.html">Za… Wilson</a> and <a href="http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/m-basebl/mtt/torrez_riccio00.html">… Torrez</a> joined Maggi as the only Sun Devils to collect a hit.</p><separator></separator><p>The Devils and Ducks continue their three-game Pac-10 series on Friday, Arpil 2.
