It look longer than anyone in the Arizona softball program wanted, but the Wildcats finally have their first Pac-12 series victory of the season.
Arizona’s bats exploded Saturday afternoon in a 12-4 run-rule victory over Oregon, while Devyn Netz silenced the Ducks offense for most of the day.
Arizona (23-15, 4-11 Pac-12) got the scoring started early when Sharlize Palacios hit a two-run homer in the first inning, immediately followed by a solo shot from Allie Skaggs.
Arizona extended its lead in the third when Blaise Biringer drove in one on a sac fly.
