TUCSON, Ariz. -- Home runs from Alyssa Palomino and Dejah Mulipola were part of UA's nine-runs 13-hit attack to back Taylor McQuillin's one-hitter as Arizona opened the Wildcat Invitational with a 9-1, five-inning victory over South Dakota on Thursday night at Hillenbrand Stadium.
Palomino, who got her first career start as UA's leadoff hitter, went 3-for-4 with a home run and two RBI. She now has multiple hits in six of UA's last eight games. She's 15-for-her-last-25 (.600).
Palomino's homer was her sixth of the year while Mulipola's was No. 4.
McQuillin was dominant once again in the circle. She struck out nine in her one-hit effort. She did see her 30.1 consecutive scoreless innings streak come to an end on a solo homer to lead off the third. It was the only hit she gave up, keeping alive a streak of now 11 straight appearances with two or fewer hits allowed. McQuillin improved to 12-1 on the year.
Arizona started the bottom of the first with three straight extra base hits to score the first two runs of the game. Palomino led off the inning with a homer before back-to-back doubles by Reyna Carranco and Jessie Harper gave UA a 2-0 lead.
Arizona added to the lead on a South Dakota error in the second.
In the third, a leadoff homer ended a 30.1 scoreless innings streak for Taylor McQuillin.
UA got the run back in the bottom half on a Carli Campbell RBI.
Arizona plated five in the fifth to walk off with the win.
