Arizona baseball defeated Oregon, 9-8, in 11 innings on Saturday to clinch the series.

The Wildcats didn’t even need a hit to score the walk-off run.

Matthew Dyer was hit by a pitch to start the frame and came all the around to score when Oregon pitcher Ryne Nelson attempted to pick him off at first.

Nelson’s throw was low, shooting between the bag, the first baseman’s glove, and Dyer’s hand as he dove back to the base. Realizing the ball had gotten past the first baseman, Dyer took off full speed for second and then to third with coach Jay Johnson directing him.
