The Arizona Wildcats escaped two upset bids in one-run games against Boise State and Texas State on Saturday evening. Neither game featured shutdown pitching. Both were closer than Arizona would have liked.
The Wildcats defeated the Broncos 5-4 in the early game. For the second straight day, Arizona was without starting centerfielder and leadoff hitter Janelle Meoño who is currently in a boot. She last played against North Dakota on March 3.
Sophomores Allie Skaggs and Carlie Scupin once again led the Wildcats on offense. Skaggs went 3-4 at the plate and scored a run.
