On one side: the Bulldogs’ Dakota Hudson, taken in the first round of the MLB draft by the St. Louis Cardinals on Thursday night. On the other: Bobby Dalbec, taken in the fourth round by the Boston Red Sox on Friday – as a third baseman.
Dalbec won the battle. And now the underdog Wildcats are one victory away from reaching the College World Series.
Dalbec pitched 8 2/3 shutout innings as Arizona overcame a power outage and defeated No.
