The long ball has been Arizona’s best friend this weekend in Los Angeles, and on Saturday afternoon it led the Wildcats to a key Pac-12 victory.
The UA hit back-to-back home runs on two occasions, including in the top of ninth inning, to pace a 7-3 win at UCLA at Jackie Robinson Stadium.
Ryan Holgate’s 2-run homer, his second of the season, have Arizona (13-5, 1-1 Pac-12) a 6-3 lead, then Jacob Blas followed with a solo shot. Blas’ 2-run blast was the Wildcats’ only scoring in Friday’s 3-2 loss to the Bruins.
