Arizona baseball recap: Wildcats beat Stanford Cardinal 4-1 in series opener

With Nathan Bannister at home going up against one of the best freshman in the country in Tristan Beck, you knew there weren't going to be a lot of runs scored on Friday night at Hi Corbett.

But the Arizona Wildcats were able to manufacture a couple runs, and Bannister retired 20 in a row from the second to the ninth innings en route to a 4-1 victory.

"Spectacular" was the one word Arizona head coach Jay Johnson used to sum up his pitcher's night.

"Pretty much every Friday night is going to be a battle," Bannister explained.
