Landon Hairston, among the leading hitters in college baseball, slugged his record-tying 27th home run of the year, and Arizona State won its final game of the regular season, 8-3 at Houston Saturday, May 16.
The two-run blast by Hairston, who tied Mitch Jones (2000) for the most home runs in a single season in ASU history, pushed the Sun Devils’ lead to 6-1 in the sixth inning.

Jaden Alba started in place of Kole Klecker, and delivered 5 2/3 innings, allowing one run with seven strikeouts.
The offense clicked in the fourth inning when Austen Roellig knocked in a run, and continued in the fifth on a sac fly from Nu’u Contrades.
In the sixth inning, P.J. Moutzouridis preceded Hairston’s blast with a two-run single.
