After a hard fought series at GCU, the Tritons looked to get back on track against the University of Arizona Wildcats. On the bump for the Tritons was Ethan Ou who stymied the Wildcat’s offense, taking a no-hitter through the fourth inning. In total he pitched 5.2 innings while striking out 7, giving up just 3 hits, 2 walks, and 1 run. However the Tritons’ offense was also held scoreless until the bottom of the fourth inning, where a single, a walk, and an error loaded the bases for outfielder Matt Steele, who launched a bases-clearing triple, putting the Tritons up 3-0. Later that inning, Steele would score on a wild pitch to tack on the Tritons’ fourth run. Arizona would make it closer, scoring a run in the sixth and seventh innings respectively making the score 4-2. In response, the Tritons would add one more run on a Nick Bettencourt RBI single in the bottom of the eighth. Closer Caleb Galdston would slam the door on the Wildcats in the ninth, giving the Tritons the victory by a score of 5-2 in game 1 of the series.

The Tritons looked to carry the momentum of the previous win into Game 2 of the series. The Tritons offense quickly put themselves up by two from a Connor Price sacrifice fly and a Matt Steele RBI single. Acting as the opener for the Tritons was Caleb Galdston who pitched the first two innings of the game, striking out 1 and giving up 1 hit, 1 walk, and 1 run. The score would remain 2-1 until the bottom of the fifth where the Tritons would add one more run on an RBI single by third baseman Chris Haven. Taking over for Galdston would be Finn Daecher, who dominated the Wildcats for the remaining five innings of the game, surrendering only a single hit, striking out 5, without giving up any walks or runs. The Tritons would win with a final score of 3-1 as their pitching staff continued to shine.

With two wins under their belt already, the Tritons were eager to take out the brooms and finish the sweep. Starting pitcher Ethan Adamson pitched a hard fought two innings, surrendering a run in the first inning, before handing the ball to reliever Roland Wen, who coughed up another run in his 1.2 innings of work. With the score at 2-0 in Arizona’s favor, a key fourth inning substitution that brought Matt Steele off the bench would prove vital for the Tritons’ offense as he would hit another signature RBI triple to cut the lead in half. With this new momentum, the Tritons would score twice in the fifth inning on an RBI fielder’s choice by Ben Pajak and a crucial go-ahead RBI single off the bat of Frank Drugge to bring the score to 3-2 Tritons. The score would remain this way as reliever Joon Lee pitched the last 3.1 innings, striking out 2, walking 2, and giving up no runs. The Tritons would win once again, completing the sweep of the Wildcats.
