The Arizona Wildcats began their first game of the weekend series against the struggling Hartford Hawks Friday evening. This matchup got the Arizona bats back on track, as they scored a season-high 21 runs en route to a dominating 21-5 victory.
The first inning started off quickly with a two-run homer for Hartford (1-7), but Arizona didn’t even remember it when the bottom of the inning rolled around and they built up a 5-2 lead.
It was JJ Matijevic who got the Cats on the board with a double early in the bottom of the first.
