Arizona hit four homers en route to a 7-3 victory over New Mexico State in the first game of Wednesday’s doubleheader at Hillenbrand Stadium.
It was the Wildcats’ first win since March 31 and it snaps their six-game losing streak. They improve to 28-12, and will play NMSU again at 6:30 p.m. PT.
UA left-hander Taylor McQuillin had a no-hitter going until the fifth, then allowed three runs in the sixth as the Aggies avoided the shutout.
Alyssa Palomino kicked off the scoring for the Wildcats early, drilling a two-run homer over the batter’s eye in center in the very first inning.
