Win or lose, after each game Arizona huddles up the third base line at Hi Corbett Field to discuss what just happened.
On Sunday, that scrum included an extra item: a large, red push broom.
Arizona beat USC 8-4 to complete its first Pac-12 series sweep since the final weekend of the 2019 season. The Wildcats (27-11, 12-6) have won five consecutive league series, but in three previous attempts at a sweep they had come up short on Sunday, including home losses of 18-13 to Oregon and 9-1 to Cal.
“Maybe to them, it might mean something; to me it’s not something we’ve talked about,” UA coach Jay Johnson said of sweeping, noting that Arizona swept a 4-game series against Southeastern Louisiana in February and won all four games at the Frisco Classic during a 10-game win streak earlier this season.
