The Arizona Wildcats have touted their pitching depth all season, and it was on full display Saturday. Redshirt senior Gina Snyder tossed a four-hit shutout as Arizona squeaked past Team Japan 1-0 in an exhibition to wrap up the Mary Nutter Classic in Palm Springs.
It was Snyder’s first appearance of the season, though it technically will not go in the record books.
Snyder struck out five, walked one and hit four batters. Team Japan, the No. 2 team in the world, had plenty of scoring opportunities, but Snyder was able to dance out of danger several times, stranding 10 runners on base.
