Wildcats head for LA to face the Trojans with a few wins under their belt

Arizona Wildcats Baseball


The Arizona Wildcats have now won a couple of series in the Pac-12, winning 2 of 3 at Utah over a week ago and this past weekend won 2 of 3 over the UCLA Bruins at Hi Corbett Field. They also bested ASU in Tempe 10-9 last Wednesday in a non-conference encounter.

Sporting a 17-20 overall record and a 6-9 Pac-12 slate, Arizona at least will head for LA with a little spring in their step.

Three players -- Scott Kingery, Zach Gibbons and Trent Gilbert -- are tied for the lead in hits after 37 games. Kingery is 53 for 136 for a .390 clip, while Gibbons is 53 for 143 (.371) and Gilbert is 53 for 152 (.349).

Kevin Newman is batting .314 (49 for 156) and leads the club in RBI with 31, one more than Gilbert.

Pitchers Bobby Dalbec and Cody Hamlin are quickly becoming the go-to guys on the pitching mound. Dalbec (2-2) has taken the mound 14 times this season and owns an ERA of 1.08, while Hamlin (5-2) has started in 10 games and has two complete games to his credit while maintaining a very respectable ERA of 2.14.

Come on Wildcats, take it to the Trojans!
