Arizona baseball recap: Wildcats ride big second inning to 16-10 win over Santa Clara

What’s the perfect remedy for a struggling offense?

Well, how about a midweek game against a pitching staff with the 240th-ranked team ERA in the country?

Yep, that’ll work.

The Arizona Wildcats went from Palo Alto to Santa Clara for a quick Monday game before returning to Tucson, and really turned the bats loose before getting on the plane back to the desert.

Arizona won this game 16-10, thanks to a 12-run second inning,

That second inning only had seven Wildcat hits, but also included five walks and a hit batter. The final five hitters of that at bat reached base, but Mitchell Morimoto was thrown out at second trying to stretch a single into a double to end the inning.
