A team picked to finish ninth in the Pac-12 had the tying run on third base in the final inning of the final game of the college baseball season and just couldn’t bring him home. The Wildcats had fought back from a 4-0 deficit and never believed they would lose until they ran out of outs.
By the numbers: Several jump out, but we’ll spotlight a few here. One is four, the number of runs the Chanticleers scored in the fateful sixth inning — all unearned. Another is 10, the number of runners Arizona left on base — only the third time in 15 postseason games that the Wildcats stranded 10 or more. Finally, there’s two — the number of errors Arizona made, both by Ramer, on the same play in the sixth. The Wildcats had committed only seven errors in the preceding 14 postseason games.
Seventeen members of the national runner-up team were selected in the 2016, ’17 and ’18 MLB Drafts. Seven have played at least one game in the majors. The only player who was unavailable was Ramer, and it’s hard to blame him. He’d had an incredible season, batting .348 with more than 100 hits. He was as dependable as anyone on the roster. But he couldn’t handle a grounder that would’ve ended the top of the sixth without a run crossing the plate, and he compounded the error by making another, a wild throw toward third that scored a second run.
