Michael Lev column: Arizona baseball coach Chip Hale made all the right moves — from starting pitcher to No. 9 hitter — in the Wildcats’ 12-3 win over ASU in the opener of the Pac-12 Tournament.
Not even the Chip Hale haters on Twitter could quibble with the Arizona coach’s most important decisions in the Wildcats’ 12-3 win over Arizona State in the opener of the Pac-12 Tournament on Tuesday.
May validated Hale’s faith in him by allowing only one run on four hits in six innings. Statistically and circumstantially, it was his best performance as a Wildcat. May’s health was part of the discussion when pitching coach Dave Lawn visited the mound after May loaded the bases with one out in the fifth. May remained in the game and retired the next two batters.
But Hale knew Caulfield had performed well against ASU, including a 3-for-3, three-RBI outburst on March 24. Hale also knew that Caulfield had performed well in this event. He hit the first-ever Pac-12 Tournament home run a year ago and went 5 for 10 in four games. “I play on a team that has one of the best offenses in the country,” Caulfield said. “I am very happy to be here. I've not lost confidence at all”
