PREGAME NOTES
— Arizona State baseball (7-9) can nab its first weekend series sweep of the season in its third and final game against San Francisco (10-7) at noon on Sunday. This will be one of two games the Sun Devils are slated to play on Sunday.
— ASU’s sophomore right-hander Tyler Meyer will be called on to take the mound first against the Dons in his first weekend start of the season. Meyer has made five appearances and three starts so far, boasting a 2.60 ERA across 17.1 innings pitched.
— With the Sun Devils’ starting shortstop, sophomore Hunter Haas, out at least a few more weeks with a rotator cuff injury, which led to sophomore Sean McLain’s move to shortstop from second base, freshman Alex Champagne’s hand injury from Friday’s San Francisco game puts another middle infielder in doubt, leaving ASU with McLain and freshman Cam Magee as the team’s lone middle infield options moving forward.
