Rain Delays High-Stakes Clash Between Texas Tech and Arizona State
On an overcast day in Tempe, Arizona, baseball fans got an unexpected twist in the ongoing rivalry between the Texas Tech Red Raiders and the Arizona State Sun Devils. What was shaping up to be a gripping showdown came to a sudden halt on April 19, 2025, with the game suspended at a thrilling tie of 7-7.
A Game of Comebacks
As the rain started to pour, the excitement reached a fever pitch in the seventh inning. With the bases loaded and two outs, tension filled the air. Earlier in the game, Texas Tech showed their fight, rallying from deficits of 4-1 and 6-4. Their hard work paid off when Davis Rivers hit a remarkable three-run bases-clearing double, pushing Texas Tech ahead with a 7-6 lead.
But it wasn’t just the Red Raiders who came out swinging. Arizona State took an early advantage when Landon Hariston blasted a three-run home run in the third inning, setting the stage for an intense back-and-forth battle. It looked like ASU might run away with it, but the resilient Red Raiders had other plans.
Weathering the Storm
The game itself was played under challenging conditions, with temperatures hovering in the upper 50s accompanied by cold winds and persistent rain. Yet, neither the players nor the fans seemed to let the weather dampen their spirits. As both teams battled it out, you could feel the energy in the stands as fans cheered for their respective teams, fully engaged in the nail-biting contest.
Crucial Moments
The Red Raiders, however, demonstrated remarkable perseverance. Texas Tech’s pitcher Lukas Pirko secured two outs in the seventh before things got complicated. A hit-by-pitch and a walk loaded the bases for the Sun Devils, and just like that, the atmosphere shifted. A critical infield hit from Isiah Jackson allowed Nu’u Contrades to cross home plate, tying the game at 7-7 when Mother Nature intervened.
What’s Next?
