The lead’s life span proved to be short as the Sun Devils rattled the cage in the next inning, putting four runs on the board from an RBI ground out by <a href="http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/w-softbl/mtt/haro_talor00.html">Tal… Haro</a> and a three-run shot from <a href="http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/w-softbl/mtt/rogers_lesley00.html">… Rogers</a>.<br /><br />Escobedo didn’t need any more than that as she settled down to keep the Jays bats at bay throughout the rest of the duration. The Sun Devils decided to be a bit more offensive though as they came out to put five more on the board in the third with <a href="http://thesundevils.cstv.com/sports/w-softbl/mtt/lockwood_annie00.html"… Lockwood</a> putting the cherry on top in the fourth inning with a solo shot to center field to give ASU all the cushion they needed and more to give Escobedo her tenth collegiate win.<br /><br />The Sun Devils head back into action this week as they set to take on the Creighton Jays again on Tuesday at 7 p.m. in Tempe at Farrington Stadium.</p>
