Arizona scored runs early and often, but still needed to hold off a late rally by Washington to take the first game of the series.
The Arizona Wildcats jumped out to an early lead against the Washington Huskies on Friday night, but still had to hold off a late rally by Washington to secure the win.
Offense wasn't an issue for the Wildcats, who scored three runs in the first inning and never relinquished the lead. Riley Moore led the way, going 4-4 and driving in three runs. Kevin Newman and Tyler Krause each went 2-5 and drove in a run, but really, everyone contributed, as every Arizona batter either reached base or drove in a run.
