Arizona may need another late-surge (or the first-ever Pac-12 Tournament title) to ensure another NCAA tourney berth after getting swept again on the road.
The 20th-ranked Wildcats lost 3-1 at 7th-ranked Stanford on Saturday afternoon, their seventh consecutive loss in Pac-12 play. They fell to 3-9 in league play and 24-15 overall, sitting in eighth place in the 9-team conference.
Stanford (31-6, 8-4) took the lead for good with two runs in the bottom of the fifth off UA pitcher Devyn Netz, who took the loss to drop to 11-11. Netz allowed three runs and seven hits with one strikeout over 4.
