Wildcats Clinch Series With Win Over Huskies
April 06, 2019 | Baseball
TUCSONΒ β Arizona put up crooked numbers in four of the first five innings and scored 12 times in that span during a 14-2 series-clinching win over Washington on Saturday at Hi Corbett Field.
Β
The Wildcats (15-14, 4-7 Pac-12) scored three in the first inning, four in the third, two in the fourth, three in the fifth and two more in the eighth to send the Huskies (14-11, 5-6) to their sixth-straight defeat.
Β
For a second-consecutive day, the Huskies were put behind the eight-ball early after Arizona scored three runs off of starterΒ Jordan JonesΒ (2-3) in the first inning. They got their first run on an RBI single from Austin Wells and got two more on Dayton Dooney's second home run of the series.
Β
Dooney's homer was one of eight extra-base hits the Wildcats would have among their 14 total. They have now scored 23 runs in two games.
Β
The Huskies happily took advantage of a pair of wild pitches by Arizona starter Quinn Flanagan (4-1) to get their first run of the game in the third inning. Third basemanΒ Nick RobertsΒ singled β part of a two-hit day for the junior β advanced to second on a wild pitch, moved to third onΒ ground out and came around to score when Flanagan spiked a pitch in the dirt. Unfortunately, 3-1, would be the closest the Huskies would get the rest of the way.
Β
Arizona would score the next six runs to break the game open with Cameron Cannon providing the big blow, a three-run double in the third when the game was still a two-run deficit for UW.
Β
Mason CerrilloΒ singled homeΒ Jonathan SchifferΒ in the fifth to make the score 9-2, but Arizona would add on three runs in their half of the fifth and two more in the eighth.
Β
The Huskies will have to re-group quickly as they try to salvage the final game of the series on Sunday with their ace and Pac-12 strikeout leader,Β Josh BurgmannΒ (3-0, 1.54 ERA), taking the hill. First pitch is scheduled forΒ 1:00 p.m. with all the action telecast on Pac-12 Arizona and on the Pac-12 streaming platform.
