Citizen Staff Report
Matt Veltmann’s strong pitching helped the University of Arizona baseball team win the rubber match of its three-game series with visiting Massachusetts on Sunday.
Veltmann (1-2) allowed four hits and struck out five in 5 1/2 innings for the Wildcats (8-5), who beat the Minutemen 9-0.
The game was scoreless until the fifth inning before the UA offense scored three runs. The Wildcats added four in the sixth.
Dillon Baird had three hits for UA, while Bryce Ortega drove in three runs.
Three players were ejected from the game after a sixth-inning skirmish.
Baird appeared to get his legs tangled with UMass first baseman Peter Copa on a pickoff play. The two then exchanged shoves and the benches cleared.
UA hosts Oklahoma State for the start of a three-game series beginning at 7 p.m. Tuesday.
