Arizona Rallies for 14-9 Win Over Utah
04/21/2023 | Baseball
The Wildcats offense notched double digit hits for the 11th straight game and drew five walks to fuel the 14-run outburst. Center fielder Mac Bingham, designated hitter Garen Caulfield, and second baseman Mason White all collected three hits to lead the way.
Third baseman Tony Bullard started Arizona's sixth-inning rally with a two run home run that sailed nearly 500 feet over the left field wall. First baseman Kiko Romero evened the game with an RBI fielder's choice and was followed by an RBI groundout from catcher Tommy Splaine that gave the Cats a lead they wouldn't surrender.
Arizona starting pitcher Jackson Kent did not factor into the decision. Left-handed reliver Eric Orloff (2-0), the second man out of the Wildcats bullpen, earned the win.
