In the least surprising turn of events ever, the Arizona Wildcats were locked in a pitchers’ duel at the College World Series on Monday.
Unfortunately, the Wildcats and Bobby Dalbec ended up on the wrong side of it, losing to the Oklahoma State Cowboys and Tyler Buffett by the score of 1-0.
Dalbec struck out 12 in eight innings, tying the mark for most strikeouts in a CWS game in TD Ameritrade Park Omaha.
But Buffett matched him pitch-for-pitch, tossing eight innings of three-hit ball.
This catch to start the game by Ryan Sluder was just ridiculous, and ultimately ended up being the difference.
