Arizona’s road trip is not off to a great start.
Grand Canyon’s Channy Ortiz hit a walk-off solo home run in the bottom of the 10th inning off Vince Vannelle, sending the Wildcats to a 5-4 loss on Tuesday night in Phoenix.
It was the second straight loss for Arizona (21-10) after it fell 9-1 at home to Cal on Sunday. The last time the Wildcats had consecutive losses was March 12-13 at home against Wichita State and Air Force.
The UA led 2-0 in the top of the second on an RBI double from Nik McClaughry and an RBI triple from Donta’ Williams, only to see GCU score three in the bottom of the second off UA starter Chandler Murphy, who only lasted 1.
