Arizona goes 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position in a 5-0 loss to Fresno State — including one instance where the third strike was never thrown.
Ari Koslow Special to the Arizona Daily Star MESA — Fresh off its season-opening win over No. 2 Tennessee Friday night, Arizona had a quick turnaround facing Fresno State Saturday afternoon at Sloan Park.
Davis has to be in the box ready to hit with 10 seconds remaining in the 20-second timer for the pitcher. UA coach Chip Hale was hoping the umpires would give some leeway early in the season given that it’s a new rule, but that wasn’t the case for Davis in this instance. He got into some trouble early, as the first batter of the game hit a hard line drive off the glove of Nik McClaughry. That was followed by another single, a double play, a walk and a double to give Fresno State a 2-0 lead.
That was the theme all afternoon for the Wildcats as they were able to put runners on base and in scoring position but could not drive them home. Arizona had runners on base in all but one inning, but they Wildcats went 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position. “I think he can do better,” Hale said. “But three runs for six innings, we’ll take that any day of the week.”
“I thought he caught great,” Hale said. “I thought he was catching the ball great. He was framing great. He had a good at-bat, a couple of good at-bats, so positive on that side with Tommy last night and Cam today.”
