Arizona State pulled out all the stops in their Super Regional tournament finale against Fresno State on Monday. Brett Wallace and Ike Davis, two good friends and Sun Devil teammates, faked a fight just before the game started.
Davis told ESPN: "We just wanted to do it to maybe loosen the team a little bit, and maybe get the other team thinking about other stuff."
It worked so well that it took Fresno State until the seventh inning to erupt for six runs and win the game, 12-9. The Bulldogs are off to the College World Series in Omaha; the Sun Devils are at home, with plenty of time to polish their comedy routines for next season.
Those Dogs beat a really good team, guess they're peaking at the right time, huh?...I pity the bookmakers on that series!...
