The California Golden Bears came into Friday’s game dead last in the conference, having won only three conference games all season. Their numbers, however, suggested a team that needed improved defense, but also needed better luck.
Against the Arizona Wildcats, they came out looking to prove they could compete against the league’s best. Despite a sloppy game, the Wildcats proved too tough, walking away with the 6-3 victory.
The Wildcats improve to 39-7 overall and 16-0 in the Pac-12. They have won 21 in a row.
Taylor McQuillin went the distance for Arizona, giving up three runs (only one earned) on nine hits.
