CORAL GABLES, Fla.—Arizona isn’t ready to leave the tropics just yet.
Down to their last strike, against one of the top closers in the country, the Wildcats rallied for two runs in the top of the ninth inning and then held on in the bottom of the frame to beat regional host Miami 4-3 on Sunday night at Alex Rodriguez Park.
The win eliminated the No. 6 national seed and advanced the UA into Monday’s regional final against Ole Miss at 10 a.m. PT. Arizona (39-24) would have to beat the Rebels (34-22) twice in order to win the Coral Gables Regional and make it to the Super Regionals for the second year in a row.
