The Arizona Wildcats had to replace a first-round MLB draft pick behind the plate in Austin Wells. That’s turned out to be not nearly as difficult a task as you’d think.
Freshman catcher Daniel Susac belted two home runs and drove in seven runs in the UA’s 13-8 win at Washington State on Saturday afternoon, ending the Wildcats’ season-worst 3-game losing streak.
Susac was 3 for 5 and scored four runs, raising his average to .305. He doubled in the fourth, scoring to runs to put Arizona (22-11, 8-6 Pac-12) up 4-3, hit a 2-run homer in the sixth and crushed a 3-run shot in the eighth.
