Lopes tie game, lose game in 7th inning
5/13/2025 9:41:00 PM | Baseball
GCU scores 4 runs in 7th to tie, allows 10 in 7th to lose
Grand Canyon staged a seventh-inning comeback to tie Arizona State, but the Sun Devils scored 10 runs in the bottom half of the inning to win 17-7 on Tuesday night at Phoenix Municipal Stadium.
GCU (30-22) entered the seventh trailing 7-3 but rallied with four runs in the top half of the frame to tie the score. The Sun Devils (35-18) responded with a 10-run inning on six hits, including three home runs, to put the game out of reach.
In the top half, key hits from junior right fielder Josh Wakefield (RBI double), junior shortstop Emilio Barreras (two-run single) and graduate center fielder Eddy Pelc (RBI triple) erased a four-run deficit.
The Lopes were led offensively by Barreras, who drove in three runs, and Wakefield, who went 2 for 3 with a double and two RBIs. Junior catcher Brady Sexton walked and scored twice, and sophomore second baseman Troy Sanders added two hits and scored twice from the eight spot in the order.
GCU has played a month of very clean defense with only four errors in the last 13 games. That defense left them on Tuesday, however, committing four errors. GCU walked eight batters and hit three.
GCU closes the regular season this weekend with a pivotal WAC series at Tarleton State beginning on Thursday night.
