Irvin, Susac Lift Wildcats Over Trojans, 3-2
05/07/2022 | Baseball
Irvin was brilliant for Arizona, limiting USC to just one run on four singles in 6.2 innings of work. Irvin issued just one walk and struck out a season-high seven batters but did not factor into the decision.
The Wildcats entered the eighth inning even with the Trojans at 1-1, with their only run to that point coming on a third-inning solo home run from Blake Paugh.
Nik McClaughry and Tanner O'Tremba drew back-to-back walks to open the eighth, forcing a pitching change. Susac greeted USC's reliever with a two-run double to center field that put Arizona in front 3-1.
The Trojans picked up one run in the bottom of the ninth but closer Trevor Long induced a groundout to third to end the threat and seal the win. He earned his fifth save of the season.
