The Arizona Wildcats faced their first big test of the new season on Saturday, playing against their first ranked opponent of the year, defeating the No. 21 ranked Baylor Bears 4-0, and then followed up their shutout with a 11-3 win over Northwestern to remain undefeated for the season at 4-0.
Arizona and Baylor both got off to slow starts to begin the game, with neither team being able to score. Senior Mo Mercado got a hit in the 2nd inning to extend her hitting streak to 14 games, but the Wildcats were still unable to put themselves on the scoreboard.
