The Drake Bulldogs came into Hillenbrand Stadium riding a five-game winning streak despite having yet to play a home game this season. Close losses against top-25 teams like Auburn and Arkansas proved that they were not to be taken lightly.
The Arizona Wildcats were up to the task, taking a 4-0 victory on the strength of 10 hits and three homers. Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza hit her sixth of the year and Dejah Mulipola blasted her fifth. T Statman launched her third round-tripper of the season.
Taylor McQuillin (4-4) threw a complete game shutout, giving up only two hits in seven innings.
