Arizona softball hoping Reyna Carranco can return to lineup this weekend

Arizona softball could be adding an All-American to their lineup this weekend.

Head coach Mike Candrea is hoping to get second baseman Reyna Carranco back from a broken thumb that has sidelined her since late February. Carranco took ground balls and batting practice on Tuesday and may see some action when the Wildcats face New Mexico State (twice) and Team Mexico.

“She’s getting closer,” Candrea said Wednesday. “I’m hoping that I get can her an at-bat or two, or play a game this weekend.”

Carranco has been able to throw for at least two weeks now, but returning to the batter’s box has been the trickier part.
