If the bats aren’t working, it only takes one missed pitch to decide a game. It was almost the tale of the game when Arizona softball faced Yale to open the Bear Down Fiesta, but sophomore pitcher Devyn Netz was able to recover from early difficulty and dominate until her offense put together enough scoring to win 5-1.
“I think it’s kind of like the nerves in the game that first time out,” Netz said. “I kind of always have those little nervous butterflies in the beginning, but I feel like if I don’t have those, then I don’t love this game anymore.
