In a game where it seemed like every pitch mattered, it was a play that didn’t involve a pitch that ended up deciding it.
West Virginia’s JJ Wetherholt stole home with two outs in the top of the 11th inning, winning 6-5 to spoil Arizona’s home opener on Friday night at Hi Corbett Field. It was the second year in a row the Wildcats (3-2) have lost their first home game, the first time that’s happened since 1990-91 when they played at Sancet Field on the UA campus.
“The Wetherholt kid just took the game over, he just had great at-bats all night,” Arizona coach Chip Hale said of West Virginia’s shortstop and No.
