Late-inning heroics have been Arizona’s thing much of the season. On Sunday it needed extra-inning heroics.
The Wildcats used two hits and two Washington fielding errors to plate a run in the 11th, winning 7-6 to complete a 3-game sweep of the Huskies. It was their first-ever road sweep in Seattle, where they hadn’t previously won a series since 2012.
Arizona (21-7, 9-3) extended its lead over the field in the Pac-12 to 1.5 games by improving to 8-1 this season in games decided by two or fewer runs. It also had to bounce back after blowing a 3-run lead in the 8th.
