Arizona Baseball Ends Opening Weekend Winless After Loss to Louisville

Arizona State University baseball team completed a successful opening weekend with a sweep against Ohio State, winning all three games and setting an attendance record at Phoenix Municipal Stadium with over 10,000 fans. In their season opener against Austin Peay, the Sun Devils secured a 5-3 victory, with standout performances from players like Brandon Compton, who had multiple hits and RBIs. Meanwhile, the Arizona Wildcats faced a challenging weekend at the Shriners Children’s College Showdown, losing all three games, including a significant 13-1 defeat to Louisville. Freshman pitcher Smith Bailey shone in his debut for Arizona but was unable to prevent a disastrous fifth inning where the Wildcats allowed eight runs. This performance marked the first time Arizona has gone winless in the opening weekend since 1979 and left them seeking a turnaround in their upcoming home games. The Wildcats will host New Mexico for their home opener as they look to bounce back from their rough start.
