The road remains unkind to Arizona.
The Wildcats dropped their 11th consecutive conference road game on Friday night, falling 6-3 at Washington State in the opener of a 3-game series.
Arizona (17-14, 5-11 Pac-12) had its 3-game win streak snapped and fell to 1-5 this season in series openers in conference play. It outhit the Cougars 11-8 but left right runners on base, while WSU took advantage of five walks and three hit batters.
Like it had in its previous six league road games, Arizona had the lead early. Twice, actually.
The first three batters singled for the UA in the top of first to go up 1-0.
