Arizona mens baseball capped a series sweep of the Loyola Marymount Lions in dramatic fashion tonight in Tucson. The Wildcats turned a throwing error in the bottom of the ninth combined with some excellent hitting and base running into a 7-6 triumph over the Lions(29-24). Brad Glenn’s sacrifice fly, scoring, Bryce Ortega netted the Cats(25-23) their sixth consecutive victory at Sancet Stadium.

Game Two of the weekend series between the Loyola Marymount Lions and the Arizona Wildcats played out much like game one. Good Arizona starting pitching and offense to back it up. On the mound for Arizona was Freshman Kyle Simon who improved to 3-5 on the year. He threw six strong innings and had a career high six strikeouts. Simon gave up three runs all in the first three innings and then set down the remaining nine batters in order before giving way to the bullpen.

The UofA mens baseball team extended their home winning streak to four by beating the Loyola Marymount Lions 12-2 in front of a crowd of almost 800 on a hot Saturday night at Sancet Stadium under a full desert moon.

As quickly as Preston Guilmet put the Wildcats (23-23) in an early 1-0 hole, he and the Arizona bats, came to the rescue.

Guilmet (5-4) went seven strong innings giving up five hits combined with six strikeouts. Preston won his third straight game for the first time since the spring of 2007.

Here we are again, another start to another March Madness and a familiar face is once again in the running for a Final Four berth and yet another National Championship. In the event you haven't heard, the Arizona Wildcats have been chosen by the tournament selection committee to continue their season and compete for a title. Arizona earned a 12 seed, the lowest seed in history for the school (previously a 10 seed was lowest) and is pinned against Utah in a very win-able first round game.

It was said at the end of the epic battle between Arizona and Arizona State this past Sunday, that "there were no losers here tonight.” Sitting here in the aftermath, I am having a really hard time digesting that. In a game when winning ment taking huge strides towards capping off their 25th consecutive run to the Big Dance in impressive fashion, losing could lead to the Cats being a no show at the NCAA Championships for the first time since Ronald Reagan was the Commander-in-Chief.
