Arizona softball didn’t have the opening day it might have liked at the Mary Nutter Classic, but the Wildcats rebounded on day two with wins over Bethune-Cookman and UC Davis. UA defeated BCU by a score of 8-1 in the early game then returned to defeat UCD 3-0.
Sophomore right-hander Jessie Fontes got the start against the Wildcats of BCU and struck out seven. She gave up five hits, one walk, and one unearned run in seven innings to record the first win of her career.
Arizona’s offense was prolific. The Wildcats had 14 hits including a home run by designated player Sharlize Palacios.
