Last NCAA appearance: 2010 (3-0 in Tempe Regional, 2-0 in Tempe Super Regional, 0-2 at College World Series)

Notes: Arizona State swept the Tempe Regional, defeating New Mexico, Charlotte and Arkansas. The Sun Devils outscored their opponents 33-7 in three games. ASU has reached the Super Regionals for the fifth straight year. The Sun Devils have reached the College World Series for two consecutive seasons and three of the past four. ASU hits as usual, but didn't put up the kind of numbers it normally does. The Sun Devils' batting average is off by about 40 points and they have scored about 100 fewer runs - or about two a game - than last year at the same point in the season. Don't tell that to Joey DeMichele, who slugged .665 with 30 extra-base hits. Johnny Ruettiger, who leads the team in hits and runs, is the nephew of "Rudy' Ruettiger of Notre Dame fame. Brothers Mitchell and Mark Lambson have combined for nine wins - Mitchell is a junior lefty, Mark is a freshman righty. Brady Rodgers had a 2.11 ERA last year as a freshman and backed it up with a 2.85 mark this year, striking out 83 and walking only nine. Including two years of junior college, Kramer Champlin is 27-6 over three years of college ball.
