Wildcats Roll Sun Devils, 12-3, in Pac-12 Tournament
05/23/2023 | Baseball
Shortstop Nik McClaughry, fresh off being named the Pac-12 Defensive Player of the Year, got the scoring started with a solo home run in the first inning. Right fielder Emilio Corona added two more with a triple and second baseman Mason White completed a four-run opening frame with a sacrifice fly.
That was all the offense the Wildcats would need, however they would still go on to score one run in the second, four in the fourth, and three in the seventh to put the game entirely out of reach.
Starting pitcher Aiden May was electric, spinning one of his best outings of the season to earn the win and improve to 5-2 on the year. The right-hander worked six one-run innings and struck out three while allowing just four hits, all singles.
Freshman right-hander Casey Hintz entered in the eighth and got the final four outs of the game for Arizona, ultimately working 1.1 innings without allowing a baserunner.
