For someone who hasn’t pitched for an extended period since March, Ray Hanson of Long Beach Wilson is showing why Arizona State has signed him.

Hanson, coming back from a broken bone in his hand, has given up one hit and struck out seven in four innings of the Southern Section-Toyota Division I semifinal against Norco on Tuesday night at UC Riverside. He gave up consecutive walks to Matt Hobgood and Jake Clark in the fourth but came back to record consecutive strikeouts.

Wilson, the defending division champion, is holding a 2-1 lead going into the fifth inning.
