The 13th-ranked Arizona Wildcats opened up their 2016 campaign with a big time win in the opening game of the annual Hillenbrand Invitational, a 10-2 decision over the Southern Utah Thunderbirds in just five innings.
SDSU transfer and lefty Danielle O'Toole got the start in the circle for Arizona and gave up a quick score in the first, a home run to pitcher Jordan Theurer. O'Toole quickly bounced back and got out of the inning.
Arizona then responded with six runs of their own in the bottom half of the inning, utilizing the speed head coach Mike Candrea had talked about in the preseason to get on base.
