The sophomore outfielder hits a two-run bomb and a grand slam; the Wildcats notch their first sweep over the Cardinal since 2015.
Michael Lev With the score tied and the bases loaded in the seventh inning Monday night, Stanford left-hander Ryan Bruno froze Chase Davis with an 0-1 curveball on the outside corner. That put Arizona’s left-handed slugger in an 0-2 hole.
Davis’ monster night propelled Arizona to a 10-3 victory and a series sweep against Stanford – the Wildcats’ first against the Cardinal since 2015. Arizona improved to 16-4, 5-1 in the Pac-12. The Wildcats, the defending conference champions, are tied for first place in the league. “We try to simplify it: Whether we win or lose a game, each game is its own entity,” first-year coach Chip Hale said. “Obviously you feel good about winning the series. We talk about that a lot. But we try to get over to them, ‘Hey, this is a 60-some-game season. Every game is important.’
“It took really good pitching; all three starters gave us a chance to win,” Hale said. “And clutch hitting. Let's face it: The first two nights, or night and day, that's unbelievable baseball. You're gonna have those games. We had the one at Cal that we lost. You're gonna have some funky stuff happen, and it happened on our side .”
UA outfielder Mac Bingham went 3 for 4 with a double, a triple and two RBIs. He has raised his batting average from .196 to .286 over the past eight games.
