TEMPE - Last season, Arizona softball finished tied for last in the Pac-12 standings. The Wildcats started Pac-12 play with eight straight losses and didn’t win a conference series until April 16 when they took game three against Oregon. What a difference a year makes.
On Saturday, UA secured its first series win by taking game two at Arizona State in dominant fashion. It was the second no-doubter for the Wildcats against the Sun Devils in as many days. It was especially sweet after ASU swept Arizona last season with two run-rule victories and a no-hitter.
“It feels awesome to jump on ahead, unlike last year,” said junior first baseman Carlie Scupin.
