If Friday night felt like a dream for Arizona, Saturday afternoon was when it woke up back in reality.
The Wildcats couldn’t carry over the momentum of their big opening-night win over No. 2 Tennessee, falling 5-0 to Fresno State in the MLB Desert Invitational at Sloan Park in Mesa.
The UA had six hits but were 0 for 10 with runners in scoring position, stranding 10 runners. It had someone on base in seven of nine innings but couldn’t produce in clutch situations.
Arizona had runners on 2nd and 3rd in the bottom of the second and sixth innings, only to have the next batter strike out each time.
