‘Fireball’ Carli Campbell sparking Arizona softball’s offense in Women’s College World Series run

When Arizona left fielder Carli Campbell beats a throw to first base, you can expect to see her scream, shout, and give an emphatic low five to base coach Mo Mercado.

Then Campbell will usually turn to the dugout and yell some words of encouragement to her teammates.

“She’s a little nutcase sometimes,” laughs center fielder Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza. “She’s a little fireball.”

But the celebration is warranted because when Campbell, Arizona’s No. 9 hitter, secures those precious 60 feet, it means she has done her job.

“Get on and flip the lineup,” she said of her objective.
