PULLMAN, Wash. — The Arizona Wildcats (18-15, 6-12) used a pair of monster innings to cruise past the Washington State Cougars (21-13, 7-10) on a final score of 14-8 on Sunday afternoon at Bailey-Brayton Field.
The Wildcats finished the sixth inning trailing the Cougars 4-1 before plating seven runs in the top of the seventh and five more in the eighth to take a commanding lead. Washington State mounted one-run rallies in both the eighth and ninth but Arizona held on for their first Pac-12 road win of the year.
