PHOENIX, Ariz. — The Arizona Wildcats (21-10) dropped a tightly-contested matchup with the Grand Canyon Antelopes (18-14-1) in extra innings on Tuesday night, falling on a score of 5-4.

A solo home run in the bottom of the 10th inning sent Grand Canyon to victory after two innings of deadlocked baseball.
