Cal vs. Arizona baseball recap: Wildcats fail to get timely hits, drop series opener to Bears

Arizona certainly had its chances on Friday night

In each of the first six innings of Friday night's game against Cal, the Arizona Wildcats put at least one runner on second base.

In each of those first six innings, and the next two, the Wildcats (24-15, 9-10 Pac-12) failed to score a run in support of Cody Hamlin. Cal (24-14, 11-8 Pac-12) took the series opener, and solidified themselves in fourth place in the Pac-12 standings with a 3-1 win.

Cal's only runs came in the fourth inning. After starting the frame with back-to-back singles, Mitchell Kranson dropped a sac bunt to move both runners into scoring position.
