After a week of mystery and intrigue surrounding his left bicep and shoulder, JC Cloney returned to the Hi Corbett mound on Friday for the Arizona Wildcats like nothing had happened.
Cloney, who lasted just two pitches the prior weekend in Pullman, threw six shutout innings in Tucson before finally yielding a run to the Oregon Ducks in the 7th. He threw 88 pitches on the night — 61 for strikes — scattering seven hits, a walk, and a hit batter along the way.
“I thought he was better than normal,” head coach Jay Johnson said after the game.
