Arizona softball notebook: On Mauga’s intentional walks, Baylor’s success vs. O’Toole, and more

Opposing teams have been pitching around Arizona slugger Katiyana Mauga all season, but the Baylor Bears took it to another level on Saturday.

Baylor walked Mauga four times, three of which were intentional. The other walk was on five pitches. The pro-Arizona crowd was not happy.

“That stuff doesn’t even bother me,” said Baylor starter Kelsee Selman, who issued the free passes. “It more so just makes me laugh. If it was the other way around, they probably wouldn’t pitch to her either.”

Indeed. Entering Saturday, Mauga was hitting 6 for 11 with three homers and six RBIs in the postseason.
