HOME RUN - Nu’u Contrades (18)
Contrades hammers a changeup to deep left for a solo shot to lead off the third, and ASU retakes a two-run lead thanks to their co-captain.
ASU 3 || Ole Miss 1 || Top 3
Landon Hairston stands alone in the ASU record books.
No. 28 is an absolute missile, with Hairston rightfully crowning himself as he rounds the bases.
Golden Spikes semifinalist. Big 12 POTY. Single-season ASU home run record holder.
