TUCSON, Ariz. — Outstanding pitching was the name of the game in the Arizona Wildcats (22-10, 10-5) victory over the Washington State Cougars (12-19, 4-11) on Sunday afternoon at Hi Corbett Field. Arizona's 5-2 victory put them back in the win column after dropping their previous three.

Starting pitcher Chandler Murphy (1-0) worked a season-high five innings against the Cougars and held them scoreless on just five hits. He issued no walks, struck out two, and earned his first win of the year.

Four Wildcat relievers combined to cover the final four innings and limited Washington State to two runs on three hits.

Already up 1-0, the Wildcats pulled away with a three-run fourth inning that included RBI singles from Garen Caulfield and Tyler Casagrande.
