03/05/2019 | Baseball
TUCSON, Ariz. – The Arizona Wildcats (8-5) fell to the Michigan State Spartans (2-9) by a final score of 9-5 on Tuesday night at Hi Corbett Field.
Wildcats starting pitcher Andrew Nardi, a junior left-hander, worked the second-longest outing of the year for an Arizona starter, going 6.0 innings and allowing three runs (two earned) on five hits. Nardi struck out four Spartans batters along the way and did not factor into the decision.
Left fielder Matthew Dyer and first baseman Tony Bullard both collected multiple hits to lead the Cats offensively. Dyer finished the night 2-for-5 with one run scored and one RBI, while Bullard went 2-for-3 with a run scored. It was the first multi-hit game of Bullard's college career.
Third baseman Nick Quintana (1x4, R, 2 RBI, BB) logged a pair of RBI on the night, giving him his fourth multi-RBI performance of the season. Also contributing multiple RBI was right fielder Ryan Holgate, who went 1-for-2 with two RBI and a pair of walks.
Freshman left-hander Randy Abshier finished the game for Arizona on the mound, working the final 2.0 frames and limiting the Spartans to just one hit while striking out three.
The Wildcats return to action on Friday, February 8 against College of Charleston – first pitch is set for 6:00 PM MST. Tickets and more information can be found online at ArizonaWildcats.com/BSB.
