Arizona baseball drops finale to USC to finish 8th, will face ASU in Pac-12 Tournament

With its next opponent assured, the only things left to determine for Arizona were what seed it would have for the Pac-12 Tournament and what time it would begin what it hopes is a run to an NCAA tourney appearance.

After falling 14-6 to USC on Saturday night at Hi Corbett Field in the regular-season finale, the Wildcats earned the No. 8 seed for the Pac-12 tourney. They’ll open pool play Tuesday at 10 a.m. PT against No. 5 ASU, facing No. 2 Oregon State on Wednesday.

The UA (30-23, 12-18) will need to win both games to advance to the tourney semifinals, which it reached last year when the inaugural event used an 8-team double-elimination format compared to three pools of three teams this time around.
