For most of its first five games, whether it be wins or losses, Arizona hadn’t faced too many tense moments where the outcome could hinge on a single pitch or swing. Friday finally provided the Wildcats with such a scenario midway through their 9-1 win over Milwaukee at Hi Corbett Field.
Starter TJ Nichols and reliever George Arias Jr. both worked out of situations with multiple runners in scoring position in the sixth and seventh innings, respectively, then the UA put up five runs in the bottom of the seventh and two in the eighth to blow things open.
