Wildcats Strong Offense Not Enough to Overcome Bruins in Game Two
03/23/2019 | Baseball
The Cats offense once again scored in the opening frame and followed it up with two big innings later in the game – Arizona scored six in the top of the third inning and three in the top of the fifth.
Arizona's six-run outburst in the top of the third inning was highlighted by home runs to left field from second baseman Cameron Cannon and third baseman Nick Quintana. Cannon's, a three-run jack, was his team-leading fifth of the year, while Quintana's two-run shot was his second home run on the season.
Quintana led the Cats on offense, finishing the afternoon going 2-for-5 with two runs scored and three RBI. His RBI single in the top of the fifth inning tied the game at 8-8.
Joining Quintana with multiple hits was center fielder Donta Williams (2x5, 2 R, RBI) and shortstop Jacob Blas (2x3, R, BB). Cannon (1x4, R, HR, 3 RBI, BB) and first baseman Austin Wells (0x3, R, 2 BB) both reached base multiple times.
Zach Sherman (0.1 IP), Gil Luna (0.1 IP), and Jonathan Guardado (0.2 IP) all notched scoreless relief outing for the Wildcats. Freshman right-hander Quinn Flanagan got the start and allowed seven runs on eight hits in 3.0 innings of work.
The Wildcats and Bruins close out their three-game series on Sunday afternoon at Jackie Robinson Stadium, with first pitch scheduled for 1:00 p.m. MST.
