PHOENIX—Arizona will take a 6-game win streak into Pac-12 play this weekend, and the last of those nonconference wins could end up paying off in the long run.
“It was like a playoff game,” UA shortstop Nik McClaughry said after the Wildcats’ wild 12-10 win at Grand Canyon on Tuesday night. “I think this was a great way to get us going, start off the week strong and we’ll be ready to play on Friday.”
Arizona (9-3) clubbed four home runs, two by Chase Davis, and had 17 hits, but a combination of inconsistent pitching and uncharacteristically (for this season, so far) defense kept the game close down the stretch.
