Carlie Scupin hits a two-run homer but the Wildcats fall 9-2 at Hillenbrand Stadium in the opener of a three-game series.
Norma Gonzalez Special to the Arizona Daily Star Facing in-state rival ASU is always a must-win game for the UA softball team. Coming off a sweep at the hands of UCLA last week made Friday's contest extra important.
“The fight from the hitting ,” Arizona coach Caitlin Lowe said. “I think you saw at UCLA a lot of blank faces and we came out here and we controlled the barrels. We probably could have put way more runs if didn’t make some good plays. UA will look for more improvement when the teams meet at 5 p.m. Saturday in a game that will air on the Pac-12 Network.
Luckily for Bowen, she minimized the damage to two runs in the first inning, but was eventually lifted after two innings. Both of Arizona’s runs came from Scupin's homer in the third inning to cut the lead to 3-2 and end the team's 24-inning scoreless streak. However, the Wildcats will need to find more ways to score if they hope to still win the series.
