MESA—You see something new every day at the baseball park.
Arizona had to come from behind twice to beat UC-San Diego on Monday afternoon, the first immediately after seeing head coach Chip Hale and third base coach Toby DeMello get ejected, scoring all its runs in the final four innings including four in the ninth in a 9-8 victory.
The win gave the Wildcats a 3-1 record at the MLB Desert Invitational, including a season-opening victory over preseason No. 2 Tennessee.
“It’s why you play nine innings,” assistant coach Trip Couch said afterward.
