Arizona has opened Pac-12 play with a road series win for the first time since 2017, and it did so by putting the deciding game out of reach early.
The Wildcats (12-4, 2-1) scored nine runs in the top of the first to pace a 13-5 victory at Cal on Sunday afternoon.
Catcher Daniel Susac hit two home runs in the first, becoming the first UA player to homer twice in the same inning since Kenny Corley in 1998. Susac gave the Wildcats a 2-0 lead with a 2-run homer, then added a 3-run blast for the last of seven runs plated with two outs.
