TUCSON, Ariz. — The Arizona Wildcats (24-20) dropped game two of their three-game set with the Air Force Falcons (23-25) on a final score of 5-0 on Saturday night at Hi Corbett Field.

Starting pitcher Bradon Zastrow turned in a quality start for the Cats, limiting the Falcons to four runs (two earned) on seven hits across 6.1 innings. The left-hander struck out four and issued only one walk but was tagged with the loss to move to 4-4 on the year.

Freshman right-hander Casey Hintz posted his fifth straight scoreless appearance out of the Arizona bullpen, logging 1.2 innings of shutout work while allowing just one hit.

Left fielder Chase Davis (1-for-2, 2 BB) and catcher Cameron LaLiberte (1-for-2, BB) both reached base multiple times to lead the Wildcats offensive efforts.
