Arizona drops its home opener for the second straight year, falling to West Virginia, 6-5, in 11 innings; the Mountaineers scored the winning run on a steal of home.
Ari Koslow Special to the Arizona Daily Star After a 3-1 start to the season at the MLB Desert Invitational, Arizona returned to Tucson to take on West Virginia in the home opener Friday night at Hi Corbett Field.
“We know that’s in their playbook, at least a little bit,” UA shortstop Nik McClaughry said. “You just got to slow the game down, because when you speed it up, you throw it wild. I think just learning from that, pitchers and infielders, we all can slow the game down just a little bit when we see that happening.”
“The Wetherholt kid just took the game over,” Arizona coach Chip Hale said. “He had great at-bats all night, and the base running was phenomenal. You just tip your cap to him.” After Wetherholt tied the game in the third inning with a home run, Arizona took the lead right back the next half inning following some miscommunication between the West Virginia left fielder and center fielder with two outs that allowed Mac Bingham to score after he hit a one-out double.
Freshman Casey Hintz took over for Nichols, getting out of the sixth inning before allowing another run to score the next inning to make it 5-3.
