The Cats overcome a 4-1 deficit to win the opener of a four-game series against the Wolf Pack.
Michael Lev Chip Hale knew the vibe at Hi Corbett Field wouldn’t be the same for a Thursday-night game against Nevada as it was for Arizona State last weekend. Making matters worse, a cold is running through the Arizona clubhouse right now.Coming off a series win over ASU and a decisive victory at New Mexico State, Arizona started sluggishly against Nevada. But the Wildcats remained patient, found their form and rallied for a walk-off victory.
The Wolf Pack , one of the top offensive teams in the nation, put up three runs in the second inning and led 4-1 through five. But the Wildcats kept battling, took the lead in the seventh and won it in the ninth. Murphy was charged with four runs on nine hits in 5 2/3 innings. Two hits were infield singles. One was a blooper. Another was a line drive that diving center fielder Mac Bingham initially appeared to catch, only to have the ball pop out of his glove.
“We made a lot of mistakes – baserunning mistakes, some defensive mistakes – but Chandler did a good job of keeping us in the game,” Hale said. “They did a good job of battling and putting the ball in play like we knew they would; they’re a good offensive team.” The bottom of the seventh seemed to bring more of the same. After Tony Bullard’s solo home run made it 4-3, Cameron LaLiberte got doubled off on a lineout to shortstop.
Inside pitchO’Tremba went 4 for 4 with three doubles to raise his team-leading batting average to .389. O’Tremba is 14 for 24 in his past five games.
