Leading 6-3 with two outs in the bottom of the fifth inning, Arizona was more than halfway toward finishing off a fifth straight victory, all on the road, with the last coming against rival ASU.
Then one grounder was booted by an outfielder playing in the infield, setting into motion a series of unfortunate events that would send the Wildcats back to Tucson with a head-shaking loss.
ASU scored four runs in the fifth, two in the sixth and one in the eighth, all of them unearned, to beat Arizona 10-6 on Tuesday night in a nonconference game in Phoenix.
