In a closely contested matchup in game four of the 2024 Frisco Classic, the Alabama Crimson Tide secured a narrow 7-6 victory over the Arizona Wildcats, extending their undefeated streak for the season. This hard-fought win sets the stage for an eagerly anticipated finale against DBU.

From the mound, it was a mixed bag of efforts. Alabama’s Aidan Moza battled through 3.2 innings, conceding 4 runs off 5 hits, while Arizona’s Clark Candiotti put in a gritty 6-inning stint, giving up 4 runs on 8 hits.

Despite the pitchers’ valiant efforts, the spotlight inevitably shifted to the batters in a game that had more twists than a mystery novel.

Arizona’s lineup showed flashes of brilliance, particularly from Mason White, who went 3-for-5, including a homer and 3 RBIs, painting a silver lining on the Wildcats’ cloud.

Blake McDonald, behind the plate, proved his mettle at the plate with a perfect 1-for-1, with a home run, 2 RBIs, and 2 walks, underscoring the depth of talent in the Arizona ranks.

Despite falling short in their first two games at the Classic, both by the slimmest of margins – a single run – Arizona demonstrated they are fierce competitors, leaving everything on the field.

In the end, it was the Crimson Tide who landed the knockout punch with two runs in the 8th inning, sealing a 7-6 victory.

Will Hodo and Bryce Eblin were the offensive heroes for Alabama, each sending the ball out of the park in a display of power and precision.

Matthew Heiberger, stepping up in the final frame for Alabama, secured his first save of the season, a crucial one that kept his team’s perfect record intact. His performance was the final act in a drama-filled game that had fans on the edge of their seats until the very last pitch.

As Alabama prepares to face DBU in what promises to be an epic conclusion to the 2024 Frisco Classic, the stage is set for a showdown. Game five is tomorrow at 12 PM with Alabama taking on DBU at 4 PM.

The finale is poised to be a classic in its own right. Both teams ranked in the top 25 teams in the country coming into the classic.
