The nation’s No. 1 offense was no match for Taylor McQuillin and the Hillenbrand Bombers.
No. 11 Arizona blasted three home runs and McQuillin breezed through the vaunted Arizona State lineup Friday, as the Wildcats run-ruled the 18th-ranked Sun Devils 8-0 in five innings to begin the three-game series.
“It’s one of the biggest rivalries in college softball, so it’s pretty cool to go out and put on a show like our team did today,” McQuillin said. “Offensively, we only had four hits but three of them were huge.”
The Sun Devils entered as the top scoring and home-run-hitting team in the country by a wide margin, but were mystified by McQuillin, who fanned eight batters and only allowed two hits.
