Beavers Fall to No. 10 Arizona
April 27, 2018 | Softball
TUCSON, Ariz. – The Oregon State softball team fell to No. 10 Arizona 9-0 Friday evening in the series-opener in Tucson, Ariz.
Â
Senior McKenna Arriola reached base twice in the contest, knocking a hit to right field in the fourth and walking in the first.
Â
Mariah Mazon struck out four batters as the starting pitcher. Meehra Nelson struck out the only hitter she face in the contest.
Â
The Wildcats took the lead early, taking advantage of a pair of Oregon State errors to plate a run in the first. Arizona would double their advantage with a solo home run in the second inning.
Â
It looked like the Wildcats might add to the lead in the third, as they loaded the bases with none out, but Mazon retired three-straight batters, including two by strikeout, to get the Beavers out of the jam. Arizona would tack on seven more in the fourth to close out the five-inning victory.
Â
Wildcat pitcher Taylor McQuillan went the whole way for Arizona, improving her record to 21-9 on the season.
Â
The Beavers will remain in Tucson for game two of the three-game set, Saturday at 6 p.m.
