Here are the lineups for Game 2 of the Tempe Super Regional on Sunday at Packard Stadium. If Arizona State wins, its next game would be at Rosenblatt Stadium in Omaha, Neb., home of the College World Series.
ARIZONA STATE (49-11): RF Ryan Sontag, LF Jason Kipnis, 3B Brett Wallace, 1B Ike Davis, DH Kiel Roling, C Petey Paramore, RF Matt Newman, 2B Raoul Torrez, SS Greg Bordes
Left-hander Josh Satow (9-3, 4.58 ERA) is aiming for a fourth straight postseason-advancing victory for the Sun Devils. In 2007, he was the winner in the regional clincher against Nebraska and Game 2 of the super regional against Mississippi. Last week, he got the decision in ASU’s 12-0 win against Oklahoma that ended the Tempe Regional.
FRESNO STATE (40-29): SS Danny Muno, CF Gavin Hedstrom, 2B Eric Wetzel, LF Steve Susdorf, 1B Alan Ahmady, RF Steve Detwiler, 3B Tommy Mendonca, DH Jake Johnson, C Danny Grubb
Right-hander Clayton Allison (3-5, 3.74 ERA) has the Bulldogs’ season in his hands.
ANALYSIS: No surprises in the Sun Devil lineup, but Roling batting in the No. 5 spot in front of Paramore is a change.
