Freshmen dazzle as Arizona softball run rules Southern Utah to complete Hillenbrand Invitational

The future of Arizona softball was on full display Sunday. The Wildcats got all kinds of contributions from their underclassmen in a 10-1 run-ruling of Southern Utah.

Flamethrowing freshman Devyn Netz made her debut in the circle and tossed four innings of one-run ball for her first career win. It was closed out by fellow freshman Jessie Fontes, who threw a 1-2-3 fifth.

Freshman first baseman Carlie Scupin clubbed her first career homer, a no-doubter to left that gave the Wildcats a 2-1 lead in the second.

Redshirt freshman Sharlize Palacios capped a strong weekend by blasting a grand slam in the fourth—her second homer, fifth hit and eighth RBI of the season.
