LUBBOCK, Texas — In their final game of the season, the Arizona Wildcats were out of the game almost before it started.
Sam Houston State jumped out to an early 9-0 lead, and the Wildcats were never able to put a big dent in it.
But Arizona made the most out of it in the end.
It started in the bottom of the seventh, when Luke Soroko, who has been at Arizona for four years and rehabbed from Tommy John surgery, came trotting in from the left field bullpen.
He would record two outs without allowing a run before Jay Johnson came out to the mound to replace him in the 8th.
