By looking at the men left on base the hogs just missed out on timely hitting! They also faced a good arm on the mound.
This is still a good showing against a quality opponent.
It wasn’t as close as it seems. The 'Zona pitcher was nails.
Blew our opportunity to get him in the first. Error got the lead off man Cole on base, then Arledge got lucky on a terrible bunt that the pitcher dove for and dropped (colliding with catcher during the play) giving us runners at first and second with nobody out. Bonfield hit a scorcher right back to the pitcher, who just got a glove on it and threw Arledge out at second. Koch struck out (I believe after being ahead 3-0 in the count) with men at first and third, then Fletcher popped out to catcher in foul ground.
Cloney, the Arizona pitcher, has thrown 38 consecutive scoreless innings dating to last season. He threw 16 scoreless innings at the College World Series, including a complete game in Game 1 of the finals against Coastal Carolina.
