OMAHA, Neb. – Arizona has made a habit of tossing complete games. Staff ace Kurt Heyer leads the team with seven, but Konner Wade is quick on his heels.
The righthander tossed his second complete game in a row and fifth of the season to lead the Wildcats past conference-foe UCLA on Sunday night 4-0. It was the first shutout of Wade’s two-year career.
There’s no way anyone at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha could have saw that coming. During the regular-season meeting between the Pac-12 rivals in Tucson in April, Wade threw the farthest thing from a shutout. He lasted just three innings while allowing 10 hits and six runs (five earned) in a 15-3 loss against the Bruins.
