Wildcats salvage 1 of 3 in Lubbock

Arizona Wildcats Baseball



The Arizona Wildcats battled weather delays, wind and cold, and a tornado watch or two over the weekend in Lubbock, winning one of three games against Texas Tech.

The Red Raiders and the Wildcats waited for the rain to go away at least long enough to play a doubleheader on Saturday as Texas Tech won the first game 12-3, but Arizona came back to take the nightcap 2-1.

This morning, Texas Tech won 9-3 to capture the series and improve its overall record to 15-24 and 10-11 in the Big 12 Conference. As for the Wildcats, they picked up their 30th win of the season while in Lubbock to improve to 30-13 overall and 13-8 in conference play.

The Wildcats received a seven-inning gem from starter Owen Kramkowski (7-3), who allowed eight hits and threw 100 pitches before Tony Pluta shut down the Red Raiders the rest of the way to pick up the save. Arizona scored the two runs in the sixth on a homerun from Aaron Walton and an RBI single from Garen Caulfield.

Arizona returns to Hi Corbett Field on Tuesday night for a non-conference clash with New Mexico State and a three-game Big 12 Conference series on Friday, Saturday, and Sunday against TCU.

Note: The 60-and-over Tucson Old Timers (TOTS) will attend Saturday's 6 p.m. game against TCU. The TOTS will wear their blue and white jerseys and sit on the first base side of the stadium. It's the TOTS annual group outing in support of the Arizona Wildcats.
