Pitchers combine to allow one run:

One day after Arizona pitcher TJ Nichols went for six strong innings, Garrett Irvin followed up with this own quality start. He finished the day with a stat line of six innings, five hits and three strikeouts. Arizona turned to Trevor Long out of the bullpen. Long was able to provide good relief striking out three batters over two innings keeping the shutout going. The Wildcats brought Javyn Pimental to close out the game. While he did allow the lone run of the game, he was able to close out the win for the Wildcats. 

Arizona will be going for the four-game sweep of Milwaukee Sunday morning with first pitch scheduled for 10 a.m. MST. Dawson Netz will be on the mound.
