During the 2016 postseason, the Arizona Wildcats kind of became known for their eccentric baseball tendencies.
Like two-run squeeze plays.
We hadn’t seen much of that this year, but the two-run suicide squeeze made its grand return in Phoenix on Thursday night as the Wildcats took out the Arizona State Sun Devils 6-5 to open the three-game series.
It happened with the bases loaded in the 7th.
JJ Matijevic actually came up first, but struck out on a 93 MPH fastball from ASU reliever Connor Higgins. Higgins had entered the game with the bases loaded and no one out.
