LAFAYETTE, La. – The Arizona Wildcats achieved the improbable here.
Needing to win three consecutive elimination games to advance in the NCAA baseball tournament — two against regional host and top seed Louisiana-Lafayette — Arizona somehow pulled it off.
The Wildcats swept the Ragin’ Cajuns on Monday, by scores of 6-3 and 3-1, stunning everyone but themselves.
Arizona (42-21) advances to its first Super Regional since 2012 — the last time the Wildcats played in the postseason (when they also happened to win the College World Series). The UA will play at Mississippi State in a best-of-3 starting Friday or Saturday.
