The top of Arizona’s lineup is as good as it gets.
It features do-it-all second baseman Reyna Carranco, who is hitting a team-high .452, along with a tremendous trio of Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza, Dejah Mulipola and Jessie Harper, whose power has people referring to them as the “Hillenbrand Bombers.”
Those three have gone deep 33 times, making Arizona the only team in the country with three players with 10 or more home runs.
“We’re just having fun and feeding off the energy from each other,” Palomino-Cardoza said.
But the key to Arizona’s top-20 offense actually resides in the bottom of the order, per head coach Mike Candrea.
