Arizona Mounts Comeback, Tops Utah 7-6
04/14/2022 | Baseball
After racing out to a 2-0 lead, the Wildcats found themselves in a 5-2 hole entering the fifth inning. A Utah error, a single from Tanner O'Tremba, and a hit batter loaded the bases for Davis, who promptly cleared them with a no-doubt home run onto the grass berm in right-center field.
The Cats picked up an insurance run in the sixth on an RBI double from Daniel Susac and held on over the final three-plus frames for their sixth straight Pac-12 road victory.
Arizona starting pitcher TJ Nichols improved to 5-2 on the year after working 6.1 innings. The right-hander allowed six runs on 12 hits and improved as the game went on, at one point retiring six straight Utes across the fifth and sixth innings.
A pair of righties, Quinn Flanagan and Trevor Long, combined to hold Utah scoreless on just one hit over the remainder. Long earned his third save of the year and improved his already-sparkling ERA to 0.87.
