Arizona baseball recap: Wildcats open Oregon State series with 6-1 win

There are a couple of big weekends coming up for the Arizona Wildcats, and it started on Friday night when the Oregon State Beavers came to town to start a three-game series.

And as has been the case all year, Nathan Bannister threw a gem at home to give the Wildcats a much-needed series-opening victory.

The senior right-hander went the distance in a 6-1 decision, scattering five hits and striking out nine Beavers on his way to yet another complete game.

"He's pretty special," head coach Jay Johnson said after the game.
