PHOENIX -- Arizona State’s Brett Lilek took a no-hitter to the seventh inning and Brian Serven homered twice, leading the Sun Devils to a 14-6 win over the Stanford baseball team Sunday afternoon at Phoenix Municipal Stadium. The Sun Devils swept the Cardinal for its first series win over Stanford since 2011.
Stanford (10-14, 0-6 Pac-12) broke up Lilek’s bid with three straight singles by Austin Barr, Matt Winaker and Alex Dunlap. Lilek was looking to be the first pitcher from a Pac-12 school to no-hit Stanford since 1917, before Barr’s soft liner landed in front of the right fielder.
Lilek threw 99 pitches in seven innings, while allowing one run on a Jonny Locher sac fly with the bases loaded in the seventh. He struck out only three but induced 13 ground ball outs.
No. 6 Arizona State (18-7, 7-2 Pac-12) was led by a 5-for-5 day from Serven, which included three singles four runs scored and five runs batted in to go along with the two home runs. RJ Ybarra also had two hits for Arizona State, his second on a seventh-inning two-run home run just two batters after Serven’s first shot. Serven’s second was a three-run poke in the eighth.
The Sun Devils scored in every other inning - the first, third, fifth and seventh - to pull ahead 8-1.
Stanford got the tying run to the plate in the eighth inning but the late rally was cut short. Three runs and two walks led to four runs in the frame cut ASU’s lead to 8-5 before Ryan Barr came in to strike out pinch hitter Jesse Kuet with runners on second and third.
Barr singled in Stanford’s second run as part of a three-hit two-RBI day. Drew Jackson reached three times, twice on walks, for the second straight game after starting yesterday for the first time since Feb. 20. Tommy Edman extended his hitting streak to six games.
Starting pitcher Logan James was missing with pitches to open the game, throwing six of his first 18 across the plate as Arizona State’s first three hitters took walks. Four-hole hitter Serven drove in one with a single to left, before a 6-4-3 double play helped limit the Sun Devils to two runs in the first inning, a lead it would not relinquish.
Seven pitchers threw for Stanford. Chris Viall’s 3.1 innings after James was pulled with two outs in the third was the longest outing for the Cardinal. Viall allowed one run on four hits while walking two and striking out one.
Arizona State, the only Pac-12 team with a winning record against Stanford, leads the all-time series 98-93.
