Ming continues to be Arizona's MVP of the postseason. OSU drew a walk and dropped a double down the left field line to make the final score 9-3. It looked like Arizona had a 9-2 win wrapped up, but Behnke made an error in left on a ball that would have ended things. To put Arizona’s production into perspective, OSU had only allowed six runs in their first seven NCAA Tournament games combined. The second baseman was covering the bag and just let the ball go right by his glove, through his legs and into right field.Ī ninth run came across the plate on a Ramer sac fly. Jared Oliva continued to rack up the postseason RBI with a single to drive home Matijevic and make the score 7-2.Īnother run scored on another OSU error at first base, as Salazar was able to reach. Then a missed call by the first base umpire on a Justin Behnke bunt put runners on the corners. Matijevic took a low pitch for a ride down the right field line to open the frame with a double.
The Wildcats continued to add to the lead in the ninth.
But the second baseman threw the ball up the line, pulling the first baseman off the bag, allowing Gibbons to reach safely and a run to score.Īguilar followed that with a single through the left side, pushing the lead to 6-2 and scoring another unearned run.Īfter an OSU pitching change, Bobby Dalbec flew out to center to end the threat. Gibbons then grounded to second to likely end the threat. Ginkel’s lack of command forced the Arizona staff to go to Cameron Ming, who had been used as the team’s closer in the postseason.Īfter Ming retired the first nine batters he faced, Arizona came up to bat in the top of the 8th.Ī walk, single, and interesting hit by pitch call on Boyd as he was attempting to bunt loaded the bases with one out. In typical Wildcats fashion, a couple of walks and a couple of fly balls led to the run scored. Kevin Ginkel came on, and ended the third, but gave up a couple of runs in the 4th as he struggled with command.Īrizona had pushed it to a 4-0 lead before that run though. After the game, he said he felt forearm tightness six pitches before the moment he was pulled from the game. He was seen going to his elbow/forearm area is he headed to the dugout for a line of hugs. After throwing a couple of warmup pitches, he was taken from the game. With two out in the inning, Nathan Bannister was visited by the coaching staff and trainer on the mound. #CWS /mSA0TYfonWĬontroversy returned to the Arizona pitching situation in the third.
