Arizona softball run-rules ASU for second straight day
Peanut Martinez touches home plateSo much for a heated rivalry. So much for Arizona State’s high-powered offense.
No. 11 Arizona run-ruled the 18th-ranked Sun Devils 8-0 in five innings Saturday for the second straight night, dominating in all facets.
The Wildcats outhit the Devils 10-2, blasted two homers, and played flawless defense as they captured their fourth straight series win over their in-state rivals.
“It starts in the circle and attacking the zone and our defense has been outstanding,” said UA right-hander Alyssa Denham.
Aside from a trio of walks and a pair of singles, Denham stymied an ASU offense that entered the series as the best in the nation.
