The streak is over.
A ninth-inning walk-off single by Lauren Espalin propelled Cal to a 1-0 win over No. 5 Arizona on Saturday in Berkeley, snapping the Wildcats’ 21-game winning streak.
It’s the first time the Wildcats have been shut out this season. They fall to 39-8 overall and 16-1 in the Pac-12. Their last loss came on March 10 against Florida State.
Saturday’s game was a pitcher’s duel between Arizona’s Alyssa Denham and Cal’s Kamalani Dung .
Denham (11-3) didn’t give up a hit until the fifth inning, while Dung didn’t give one up until the fourth.
