When times get tough, a team looks to its proven stars to pick everyone else back up.
Enter Daniel Susac and Garrett Irvin.
Susac doubled in two runs in the top of the eighth inning, breaking a 1-1 tie, while Irvin held USC in check for 6.2 innings as Arizona won 3-2 on Saturday afternoon in Los Angeles.
The Wildcats (33-16, 14-9 Pac-12) evened the weekend series at one apiece, setting up a rubber match on Sunday and keeping them in the conference title race. The UA entered the day in a 3-way tie for third place with Oregon and Stanford, both of whom play Saturday night.
