A late home run by Arizona softball's Izzy Pacho gave the Wildcats a win over Mississippi State in the first of their best-of-3 series.
The redshirt junior waited patiently for three years for her opportunity to be penciled into the starting lineup.
Fortunately for the Wildcats, it’s not just Pacho’s defensive prowess that shines through. She’s come up clutch numerous times this season with big hits and home runs. More than 2,000 fans — a Mississippi State attendance record — watched as the two teams battled for nearly 3½ hours before Arizona prevailed.“When someone is like that you're not surprised when they come through at the moment. I told ESPN before the weekend what's something special we don't know about your team? And I said, ‘Well, the one that gets overlooked the most is Izzy Pacho.
Her approach was just to have a quality at-bat and hit it solidly. And as it turns out, her double down the left-field line in the sixth inning and the home run, were the “best at-bats of my career.” Bowen got out of numerous jams by relying on her defense — from Paige Dimler’s cross-body catch with the sun in her eyes in right field in that same fifth inning to one more Wildcat catch that went viral. Last week it was Pacho’s catch in foul territory, this time it was Janelle Meoño’s turn.
Sophia Carroll reached on a single and a catcher interference call and Meoño had an infield single to load the bases for Palacios. A 1-2-3 seventh inning for the Bulldogs sent the game into extra innings.The Wildcats finally got to starter Annie Willis late. She started out striking out three Wildcats in the first, then only had two more the rest of the way. She gave up seven hits, walked two and had two earned runs.
