Arizona baseball rallies past Pepperdine for 11th win in 12 games
Beating a team three times is hard enough, taking all four is even tougher. And after cranking out 21 runs the night before, Arizona’s offense looked like it didn’t have anything left in the tank for the finale against Pepperdine.
Down 3-0 and held scoreless through the first five innings, despite getting the leadoff man on each time, the Wildcats finally broke through to beat the Waves 5-3 on Sunday afternoon at Hi Corbett Field. It was their 11th win in the last 12 games after an 0-3 start and improved their home record to 8-0, the best start to a season since winning the first 10 at Hi Corbett in 2018.
“This probably helps us a heck of a lot more of this game than last night’s game, because we’re able to battle back,” UA coach Chip Hale said, referring to Saturday’s 21-2 victory. “We talked to them last night, a lot, about that game’s over, we got to move on.”
Arizona (11-4) couldn’t do much against Pepperdine starter Dylan Stewart beyond getting the first guy on, going 0 for 14 with runners on base. The story changed once the Waves (3-13) went to the bullpen, with the UA loading the bases to start the 6th on two hits and a walk.
Adonys Guzman came off the bench and brought in a run on a sacrifice fly to make it 3-1 but that was it for the rally. In the 7th, however, after not getting the leadoff guy on the Wildcats had the next four guys reach, with Garen Caulfield tripling to right-center on the first pitch he saw with the bases loaded for a 4-3 lead.
“My family and I call it the honey hole,” Caulfield said of the right-center gap. “That’s what I’m trying to do. I consider myself a good gap to gap hitter. That’s my approach.”
Maddox Mihalakis then brought Caulfield in with a sac fly to make it 5-3.
Freshman right-hander Smith Bailey allowed three runs in 5.2 innings, striking out six but walking three. He had only issued one walk in his previous three starts.
“I thought there was a time there where he was sort of wasn’t his best and I thought he turned it on towards the end, and he had much better stuff,” Hale said.
Garrett Hicks came on to finish the 6th and then threw a scoreless 7th to earn the win, making him 3-0 in a team-high eight relief appearances. The junior college transfer didn’t become a full-time pitcher until his time at Pima College.
“Just kind of get in there and compete,” Hicks said. “And when you compete, it’s gonna go your way most time. If it doesn’t, it’s baseball.”
Hunter Alberini threw a perfect 8th and then Tony Pluta pitched the 9th for his second save. Pluta allowed a pair of 2-out singles, doubling the number of baserunners he’s allowed this season, but kept his ERA at 0.00.
“I think the pitch stuff is rounding into shape, and guys are kind of finding their roles,” Hale said.
Arizona continues its season-long 9-game homestand Tuesday at 6 p.m. PT against ASU. It’s a nonconference game—the ones that count toward the Big 12 standings are April 4-6 in Phoenix—but no less important.
“It’s a big deal for us,” Hale said. “We want to win. We’re going to play to win. We’re going to pitch our best guys.”
ASU is 12-4 after sweeping Gonzaga over the weekend. The Sun Devils took two of three in Tucson last season with Arizona winning the final game of the series and then a midweek at ASU.

Why Milan Momcilovic Choosing Arizona Would Be Tough Blow for Iowa State Basketball
As the Iowa State Cyclones continue to reflect on what was a strong season, one of their top players from last year is in the portal and is the best player available.
After deciding to come back to college a couple of days ago, Milan Momcilovic is now the best player in the portal and has a number of suitors looking to bring him in. Due to the large amount of money that he is expected to get, it would be a complete shock if he came back to Iowa State at this point. However, where he goes could have an impact on the program.
Last season, the junior had a breakout year and emerged as one of the best shooters in the country. While there is still work to be done to translate his game to the next level, he is an impact player in college basketball.
However, where he might go is the big decision everyone is waiting to see. Currently, it appears to be a three-horse race between the Arizona Wildcats, Kentucky Wildcats, and the Louisville Cardinals. Of the three, the Cyclones certainly don’t want to see him go to one of those schools.
Momcilovic Choosing Arizona Would Be a Tough Blow
If the star shooter for the Cyclones were to choose the Wildcats, it would be a tough blow for Iowa State. While the Cyclones had a great season this year, it was Arizona that was a thorn in their side.
The Wildcats were able to beat them both in their regular-season matchup and then again in the Big 12 tournament. The game in the Big 12 was an absolute thriller and went right down to the wire.
While Iowa State might have lost, it was Momcilovic who had a fantastic game in the showdown. Now, as the talented sharpshooter mulls his decision on where to play next year, seeing him go to Arizona would be a tough blow for the Cyclones.
This was a team that beat them twice last year, and taking one of their best players would likely result in the Wildcats being considered a better team heading into next season as well.
While Iowa State did a great job in the transfer portal and has some young talent coming back, losing the best three-point shooter in the country is a big blow. Furthermore, since Kentucky and Louisville aren’t in the Big 12, seeing Momcilovic join one of those squads wouldn’t sting or have an impact on the Cyclones nearly as much.

Arizona GOP attorney general debate turns personal with insults, name-calling
PHOENIX (AZFamily) — The two Republicans running for Arizona attorney general faced each other Thursday in a debate that devolved into insults and name-calling.
State Senate President Warren Petersen is running against military attorney Rodney Glassman in the Republican primary. The debate turned chaotic as the candidates clashed.
“Are you asking the questions, Steve?” Petersen said.
The moderator attempted to regain control. “Gentlemen, we’re going to reset,” he said.
Candidates clash over experience
The debate was the last before early voting begins next month. In between the name-calling, the two candidates argued over their resumes.
Glassman said Petersen does not have the legal experience for the job.
“Warren is just full of information, you can call them lies. He received his law license in December 2023, 28 months ago. He has never filed a lawsuit as a lawyer. He has never prosecuted a criminal as a lawyer,” Glassman said.
Petersen has had a law license for less than three years. He said he worked on cases in Scottsdale while earning his degree. Petersen said his experience as the current state Senate president also counts.
“I have done more in three years than Rodney Glassman will even get done in his life because he’s a trust fund baby who’s just looking for a place. He’s been running for 15 years and he’s lost six elections in a row,” Petersen said.
History of campaigns
Glassman has not won an elected office since he served as a Democrat on the Tucson City Council in 2007. Glassman is an Air Force attorney with 17 years of experience.
Democratic strategist Matt Grodsky said the real winner was the incumbent, Kris Mayes.
“I thought it was entertaining television. I’m glad Arizona got to see up close why these two individuals should be nowhere near the AG’s office,” Grodsky said.
Voting in the primary begins June 24.
