Allie Skaggs continued her hot-hitting ways on Wednesday night, and Arizona swept New Mexico in a nonconference doubleheader played in Las Cruces.
The Wildcats won Game 1, 14-9, then skunked the Aggies 11-0 in the nightcap.
Skaggs drove in three runs in the first game, belting a seventh-inning home run to widen the Wildcatsβ lead. She kept it up in Game 2, hitting a pair of home runs and driving in five. Izzy Pacho registered a career-high five hits in the lid-lifter, while Blaise Biringer β an Ole Miss transfer β hit her first home run as a Wildcat.
Madi Elish registered the win in Game 1, striking out six as she improved to 6-3. Jessie Fontes pitched a complete-game shutout in Game 2. Arizona will return home this weekend for a nonconference double-dip against Fresno State. First pitch is scheduled for 4 p.m. Saturday.
