Arizona baseball recap: Wildcats drop 6-5 contest to UC-Riverside

An off night in the field cost Arizona against a lesser UCR team

The thing that will be the downfall of the Arizona Wildcats in 2016 is the lack of pitching depth, and that was on display on Tuesday night. But a strength of this team, defense, would also fail them in timely spots.

Arizona would drop a midweek game to UC-Riverside. The Highlanders entered Hi Corbett with a 9-12 record on the season, but started the two-game series with a 6-5 win over the now 16-8 Wildcats.

"We've played great defense to this point in the season, and we didn't tonight," head coach Jay Johnson said after the game.
