After enduring one of the worst losses of the Jay Johnson era on Friday night, Arizona baseball responded in a big way on Saturday, when they defeated Utah 8-0 in the second game of a three-game series at Hi Corbett Field.
The victory was a major statement from the Wildcats, who rode a complete game shutout from starting pitcher Quinn Flanagan and some solid defense to bounce back after being embarrassed by the Utes 21-10 in their conference opener Friday.
“I’m not surprised, but I’m encouraged,” UA head coach Jay Johnson said of his team’s resiliency.
