After all, they came into Game 1 of a three-game series at LSU averaging a hair over eight runs per game.
They could only scratch across one run in a 4-1 loss at Tiger Park on Friday afternoon. That run wasn’t even earned. It came when 2-hole hitter Sereniti Trice hit the ball back to LSU pitcher Jayden Heavener.
Heavener threw it down into foul territory beyond the right field line. Trice got on her horse and rounded the bases for a Little League home run. The four-base error gave Arizona an early lead.
The Wildcats had only lost two games all season when scoring first. That number ticked upwards to three in Baton Rouge. The Wildcats hit a lot of lazy flies and easy grounders off Heavener.
