Despite being in the homestretch of a season that head coach Jay Johnson described as “mediocre” just last week, Arizona baseball has been able to put on an offensive show throughout 2019.
Regardless of their well-documented struggles on both the pitching mound and defensively, the Wildcats—who are second in the country in runs scored and 15th in the nation in total hits—have simply punished opposing pitchers all year long.
That trend continued on Friday night, when Arizona (23-24, 11-14) blew out USC 12-4 in the series opener at Hi Corbett Field.
Arizona finished with three home runs and a whopping 16 hits in the rout.
