Jessie Harper’s walk-off homer lifts Arizona past No. 19 James Madison

Jessie Harper launched a two-run walk-off homer Sunday as the Wildcats beat No. 19 James Madison 8-6 in a game that required an extra inning and featured plenty of twists and turns.

Arizona (15-5) blew a 4-0 lead in the fifth, then erased one-run deficits in seventh and eighth innings when they were down to their final out.

The theatrics came a day after they won in walk-off fashion against Kent State after blowing a two-run lead in the seventh.

“I think last night’s game prepared us for the moments in this game,” said UA ace Taylor McQuillin, who pitched all eight innings.
