After a shaky start, Arizona was able to settle down and lock up its first Super Regional win since 2017.
The sixth-seeded Wildcats came back from a couple of early deficits to beat No. 11 Ole Miss 5-2 Friday at Hillenbrand Stadium in just the second meeting between both programs.
The Tucson Super Regional continues Saturday at 5 p.m. An Arizona win would earn the Wildcats their first trip to the Women’s College World Series since 2010. An Ole Miss victory would force a winner-take-all matchup on Sunday.
Alyssa Palomino-Cardoza and Malia Martinez each knocked in two RBIs for UA in the Game 1 win.
