Arizona softball run-rules Stanford as Mike Candrea picks up 1,600th win

Milestones were aplenty at Hillenbrand Stadium on Friday when the Arizona Wildcats run-ruled Stanford 9-1 in five innings.

UA extended its winning streak to 19 games and improved to 14-0 in conference play for just the second time in program history.

Beyond that, longtime head coach Mike Candrea picked up his 1,600th career victory, joining Michigan’s Carol Hutchins as the only coach in NCAA history to reach that mark.

The Wildcats were well aware of that heading into the game.

“I think we all agree that we come out here everyday and fight for him,” said UA right-hander Alyssa Denham, the winning pitcher.
