(BCSNN) — No. 23 Arizona State delivered another dramatic comeback under Willie Bloomquist on Saturday, erasing a seven‑run deficit to defeat BYU 12–8 and secure a road series win. The Sun Devils (28–13, 11–7 Big 12) posted their sixth seven‑run comeback of the Bloomquist era and their second this season, continuing a trend of late‑game resilience that has defined the program’s rise.

ASU trailed 7–0 through three innings before unleashing a relentless two‑out surge, batting 8‑for‑14 (.571) with two outs and scoring 11 of its 12 runs after the second out of an inning. The victory moved the Sun Devils to 8–1 in weekend series and 4–1 in rubber matches, including two on the road.

Austen Roellig went 3‑for‑5 and delivered two crucial insurance RBIs in the ninth after BYU intentionally walked national RBI leader Landon Hairston to face him. Nu’u Contrades drove in three runs, while Beckett Zavorek and PJ Moutzouridis combined to go 5‑for‑9 with five runs, three RBIs and four doubles from the bottom of the order.

On the mound, the bullpen trio of Colin Linder, Sean Fitzpatrick and Derek Schaefer threw five shutout innings, with Schaefer recording a six‑out save — his sixth of the season. ASU pitchers stranded 12 Cougars and held BYU to 1‑for‑10 with two outs.

After showing signs of life in the third, Arizona State broke through in the fourth with a six‑run, seven‑hit inning, all but one hit coming with two outs. BYU briefly extended its lead with a run in the bottom half, but ASU chipped away again in the fifth to pull within one.

The Sun Devils tied the game in the seventh on a pinch‑hit triple from Ky McGary and a sacrifice fly from Matt Polk, then pushed ahead with more two‑out production to make it 10–8. Two ninth‑inning insurance runs sealed the comeback.

The win continues a month‑long trend of ASU overcoming early deficits — and often winning anyway — as the Sun Devils strengthen their postseason résume.
