Nathan Bannister started Friday night's game, and threw 96 pitches in the win over Sam Houston State.
So it seemed unlikely that he would pitch again on the weekend. But that ended up being so far from the truth.
In an elimination game for the Arizona Wildcats, their senior ace took the mound and gave the team more than it could have ever asked for. Bannister threw seven-plus innings against Louisiana-Lafayette, forcing a deciding Game Seven. Arizona won Monday afternoon's game 6-3.
In Bannister's first start, the Wildcats blasted a season-high three home runs.
