Arizona softball keeps playing with fire but still hasn’t been burned.
A walk-off sacrifice fly by Bella Dayton lifted the Wildcats to a 7-6 extra-inning win over Northern Iowa on Friday, mere hours after they eeked out a 2-1 win over Long Beach State.
Combine those two victories with their 4-3 win vs. Seattle last Friday, and three of Arizona’s seven wins have been decided by one run.
“That shows a little bit of the parity of the sport right now, and we’ve told our kids you can’t play the name game anymore,” said coach Mike Candrea.
