White hits 3 of Arizona's program-record 8 HRs in 14-4 win over Utah Valley
Associated Press
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) — Mason White hit three of Arizona's program-record eight home runs and the No. 2 seed Wildcats beat fourth-seeded Utah Valley 14-4 on Saturday night at the Eugene Regional.
Arizona (41-18) can clinch a berth in the super regionals with a win Sunday against the winner of an elimination game between Utah Valley, which beat host and No. 12 national seed Oregon 6-5 on Friday and No. 3 seed Cal Poly — which eliminated the Ducks with a 10-8 win earlier Saturday. Both the Wolverines and the Mustangs would have to beat the Arizona twice to win the double-elimination regional.
Tommy Splaine, Brendan Summerhill, Garen Caulfield, Aaron Walton and Adonys Guzman also hit home runs for the Wildcats.
Casey Hintz (7-4) pitched three no-hit innings of relief and Michael Hilker Jr. allowed a hit with seven strikeouts over three scoreless innings for his first save of the season. Starter Raul Garayzar lasted just three innings and gave up four runs, three earned.
White hit a two-run home run off starter Colton Kennedy (5-5) in the first inning and the Wildcats never trailed.
Mason Strong and Dominic Longo II each hit and RBI single in the first, and CJ Colyer and DJ Massey had run-scoring groundouts in the fourth for Utah Valley (33-28).

Mets Predicted to Trade for $50 Million Outfielder After Juan Soto News
Mets Predicted to Trade for $50 Million Outfielder After Juan Soto News originally appeared on Athlon Sports. Few would fault a manager for sitting down with a hitter mired in a 7-for-59 slump, even if that hitter is an All-Star with a 15-year, $765 million contract. Advertisement At least for now, New York Mets manager Carlos Mendoza and superstar outfielder Juan Soto aren't at that place yet. Mendoza told reporters ahead of Friday's 4-2 victory over the lowly Colorado Rockies that he hasn't felt he and Soto need to talk privately. 'He knows he's in a good place,' Mendoza said, shortly before Soto snapped an 0-for-17 streak. '[I] treat him the same way I treat the other guys, too.' Soto became one of the guys last December, and Chicago White Sox outfielder Luis Robert Jr. might be next. Chicago White Sox center fielder Luis Robert Krzaczynski-Imagn Images Bleacher Report's Kerry Miller proposed the Mets pursue Robert, a 2023 All-Star in the final guaranteed season of a six-year, $50 million contract. Any team that acquires Robert can keep him through 2027 via two $20 million club options. Advertisement Robert, who turns 28 in August, entered Saturday hitting .187 with five home runs, 20 RBI, and a league-high 21 stolen bases. However, his .578 OPS is easily a career-worst, and he's hit just .212 with a 204-51 K-BB ratio across the last two years. '[C]enter fielders worth anything close to a darn aren't exactly growing on trees and readily available at the trade deadline,' Miller wrote. Indeed, Robert would almost certainly man center field—the only position he's played since his 2020 debut—if the Mets acquired him. Mendoza has primarily started Jose Siri and Tyrone Taylor in center. Although Robert is an upgrade over those two, his continued offensive regression is nonetheless concerning. It's also unclear how aggressive the White Sox will be when discussing a return package, especially with a win-now team like the Mets. Advertisement Robert went 1-for-5 with a stolen base against the Mets earlier this week. We'll see if he joins Soto in calling Citi Field home before the summer ends.
