Some things are too cruel to be April Fool’s Day jokes. This one happened to be the real thing.
Arizona couldn’t hold on to a 10-run lead after two innings, losing 13-11 to Oregon before a season-high 4,436 fans on Saturday night at Hi Corbett Field.
It was the eighth consecutive Pac-12 loss for the Wildcats (14-11, 3-8), the longest skid since dropping nine in a row in 1998. And they have also allowed 47 runs in the past four games, tied for the most in a 4-game span since doing so in April/May 2019.
Ten of those runs came against Arizona’s bullpen, with four of the five relievers giving up at least one run.
