Arizona Falls in the Ninth at Oregon, 3-2
03/23/2024 | Baseball
The Wildcats managed to tie the game at 2-2 in the seventh with an RBI double from Brendan Summerhill and kept the game even with a tremendous defensive play at the plate in the eighth before allowing the winning run to cross in the bottom of the ninth.
Shortstop Mason White crushed his eighth home run of the season in the top of the fifth inning for the Wildcats other run.
Starting pitcher Clark Candiotti contributed yet another strong performance from a Wildcat starter, going 5.1 innings and holding the Ducks to just two runs on three hits. The right-hander struck out three and was not on the hook for the loss.
The relief trio of Eric Orloff (0.2 IP), Kyler Heyne (1.0 IP), and Tony Pluta (1.0 IP) kept the Wildcats within striking distance out of the bullpen. They combined to hold Oregon scoreless while striking out three and surrendering just two hits.
