Arizona State softball senior pitcher Breanna Macha shut down Mississippi in a 7-1 win Saturday, sending the Sun Devils into an NCAA regional final.
With its second straight regional win at Farrington Stadium, No. 8 national seed ASU (45-11) needs just one victory at 6:30 p.m. Sunday to advance to a best-of-three super regional.
Long Beach State routed New Mexico State 9-0 in five innings in the second game Saturday then lost 1-0 to Mississippi in a night elimination game. So ASU will play the Rebels again Sunday for the regional title.
If ASU loses, one final game at 9 p.
