The Wildcats offense sprung out of the gates, posting a 10-run first inning that provided all the runs they would need for victory. The 14-batter inning was highlighted by a two-run home run from Aaron Walton, a two-run single from Gunner Geile, a two-run double from TJ Adams, and a two run double from Mason White. Walton's home run was his fourth of the season, while Geile's two RBI were the first of the freshman's collegiate career.
White added to the tally with a solo home run in the bottom of the third inning, giving him 34 on his career and moving him into a tie for sixth all-time at Arizona.
Starting pitcher Smith Bailey did not factor into the decision after working 4.1 innings and allowing four runs. The freshman right-hander struck out three.
Relievers Garrett Hicks (1.0 IP), Julian Tonghini (1.0 IP), and Tony Pluta (1.0 IP) all posted scoreless appearances and combined to allow just three hits. Tonghini (3-0) earned the win for his effort, his third of the season.
