Casagrande, Wildcats Walk Off Falcons, 11-10
05/07/2023 | Baseball
Casagrande's winning plate appearance was set up by an RBI double from Mason White to tie the game, an intentional walk to Tony Bullard, and an infield single legged out by Garen Caulfield that loaded the bases. On the afternoon the Wildcats fought back from deficits of 7-3 and 10-6 to earn the victory.
The offensive heroics were set up by a spectacular effort from the back end of the Wildcats bullpen. Left-hander Jackson Kent, along with righties Dawson Netz and Chris Barraza, held the Falcons scoreless over the final 3.2 innings while allowing just one hit. Barraza (2-2) earned the win, his second of the year, after posting a scoreless top of the ninth.
Bullard, White, Mac Bingham, Nik McClaughry, Emilio Corona, and Garen Caulfield all picked up multiple hits in the Wildcats 18-hit onslaught. After the weekend Arizona is now hitting .318 on the year, the best mark in the Pac-12.
