Arizona baseball secures first win, dominates New Mexico 10-0

The University of Arizona baseball team secured its first win of the 2025 season with a 10-0 victory over the University of New Mexico on February 18, following a rough start with three consecutive losses at the Shriners Children's College Showdown. Freshman pitcher Kenan Elarton shined with a strong performance, and key offensive contributions came from Garen Caulfield and Adonys Guzman, who combined for six RBIs. The Wildcats had struggled in their opening tournament, losing to Mississippi, Clemson, and Louisville, and ranked poorly in batting and pitching statistics nationally. Arizona's upcoming series against San Diego will be crucial as both teams look to improve after their slow starts. San Diego also faced difficulties, suffering four losses to TCU to open their season. The matchup will feature Arizona's top hitters, including Guzman and Mason White, against San Diego's standout Jack Gurevitch.
