When Arizona started the 2021 season out with two losses in its first three games, all at home, it naturally raised some eyebrows. Was this just the product of needing to shake off nearly a year of real-game rust, or was this strongly hyped team not as good as expected?
What a difference two weeks makes.
Arizona (10-2) is riding a nine-game win streak, the last four victories coming by a combined score of 55-26 in sweeping through the Frisco College Baseball Classic in Texas. The Wildcats beat Oklahoma twice, dropping 20 in the tournament opener, then dispatched Dallas Baptist and Missouri to finish out the weekend.
