By being the winning pitcher Saturday against Ole Miss, Arizona righthander Alyssa Denham fulfilled a promise she made to Taylor McQuillin a while back.
“I texted Tay at the beginning of this year and I told her that I was going to do everything I can to help not only her but the rest of the senior class finish their career the way it should be finished,” Denham said.
That meant earning a trip to the Women’s College World Series, something the previous eight senior classes failed to do.
It’s no secret that elite pitching is necessary for any team to make it to Oklahoma City and Denham and McQuillin have been an outstanding duo during Arizona’s six-game winning streak.
