Katiyana Mauga wasn’t in the best mood when the Arizona Wildcats finished batting practice before Friday’s game against the Baylor Bears.
“She thought she had a crappy practice,” head coach Mike Candrea said.
It certainly didn’t carry over to the game.
Mauga went 3 for 3 with a homer and a double as Arizona won Game 1 of the Super Regional, 3-2.
“That goes to tell you what batting practice really means,” Candrea joked. “It’s just a warmup.”
Mauga doubled and scored the game’s first run in the first inning, then later hit a solo homer to right to put Arizona up 2-0.
