TEMPE, Ariz. (AP) -
Carlos Ramirez singled three times and drove
in three runs to help Arizona State beat Clemson 7-4 in its super
regional opener Saturday night.
After the Tigers rallied from two down to tie it, Matt Newman
doubled off the center-field fence to bring home Ramirez for the
go-ahead run in the seventh inning. Ramirez's bases-loaded single
brought in two more in the eighth as the Sun Devils (48-12), seeded
fifth nationally, won for the 15th time in 16 games.
The last six of Arizona State's runs came with two outs.
Mike Leake (16-1), the NCAA leader in victories, got the win
against Clemson (44-21) despite one of his shakiest outings. He
allowed four runs, three of them earned, on eight hits in eight
innings.
