The top of Arizona’s batting lineup consists of five players who earned all-conference accolades this week, including a pair of Collegiate Baseball All-Americans.
But as important as those hitters have been to the Wildcats’ huge season, the less-heralded guys at the bottom of the order have been just as integral, never more so than on Friday night.
Arizona’s bottom four spots combined for 10 of its 17 hits in a 12-6 come-from-behind win over Grand Canyon in the opening round of the NCAA Baseball Tournament at Hi Corbett Field.
The Wildcats (40-15) move into the Tucson Regional semifinal, where it will face UC Santa Barbara at 7 p.
