Arizona had to use six pitchers to survive a 17-16, 10-inning marathon on Friday night, and its Sunday approach of late has been bullpen by committee.
And in between: the first complete game for a Wildcat in two years.
Garrett Irvin threw 114 pitches in allowing eight hits and a walk with six strikeouts as the UA beat Washington 4-1 before a season-high crowd of 1,858 fans at Hi Corbett Field.
Those who stuck to the end saw the junior left-hander allow two ninth-inning singles but also induce a pair of weak pop-ups and then a routine ground ball to third baseman Tony Bullard to finish off Arizona’s first complete game since Avery Weems went the distance against Sam Houston State on May 13, 2019.
