TUCSON, Ariz. -- Before the rain and lightning came and wiped out the finale of the Arizona Fall Invitational, Taylor McQuillin and Alyssa Denham threw a combined no-hitter in Arizona's 8-0, five-inning victory over Eastern Arizona. The Wildcats were scheduled to take on Pima College in the final game of the invitational, but the two teams will attempt to reschedule the meeting.
The Arizona Fall Invitational was played with a 10-run rule, rather than the eight that is used during the NCAA regular season. So the Cats and the Gila Monsters were two batters into a sixth inning when the game was suspended and later called. The game was reverted back to the last completed inning, in which Arizona held an 8-0 lead in the game after five.
McQuillin struck out seven in four innings while Denham fanned one in her lone inning of work. In 25 innings in the tournament, the Wildcats did not allow a run and UA's six pitchers -- McQuillin (8.0 IP), Marissa Schuld (6.0 IP), Denham (5.0 IP), Hanah Bowen (3.0 IP), Gina Snyder (2.0 IP) and Vanessa Foreman (1.0 IP) -- combined to allow just six hits by the opposition. UA pitchers struck out 42 batters and held a 42/1 strikeout/walk ration over the five games.
Arizona's offense, meanwhile, scored 57 runs over 21.1 offensive innings. The Cats hit seven homers, led by two-homer-weekends from Jessie Harper and Ivy Davis.
On Sunday, Jenna Kean, Reyna Carranco and Ivy Davis had two hits apiece. Schuld led the Cats with two RBI while Carranco, Harper, Rylee Pierce, Davis and Malia Martinez all drove in single runs.
