Wildcats Pitch, Power Their Way to Series Sweep Over NDSU
03/05/2023 | Baseball
Starting pitcher Bradon Zastrow spun a gem on the mound, working six innings and allowing just one run on five hits while striking out eight. He earned the win to improve to 2-0 on the year.
Center fielder Mac Bingham continued his weekend of hot hitting, going 3-for-5 at the plate with a pair of home runs and three RBI, including the walk-off single in the bottom of the eighth inning. Bingham now leads the team with five home runs this year.
First baseman Kiko Romero also swatted a home run, a three-run shot in the third inning that was his second long ball in as many days.
Arizona's bullpen was also dominant, yielding just one hit while striking out three over two innings of work.
