Arizona softball got another good measuring stick Saturday afternoon of how far it must grow to compete with the nation’s best teams.
The No. 9 Wildcats fell to No. 1 Oklahoma 10-2 in five innings in the UA’s final game of the Mary Nutter Collegiate Classic in Cathedral, California.
The Wildcats (10-4) kept it a tight game through two and half innings, but the Sooners’ bats eventually broke through while Arizona’s offense continued to struggle against elite pitching.
Trailing 1-0 in the third inning, Jasmine Perezchica drove in Hannah Martinez on a sharp grounder down the third base line that was misfielded by OU’s left fielder.
