Arizona softball has a new ace and her name is Hanah Bowen.
Two days after making her first-ever series-opening start, Bowen got the nod again in the series finale against Utah and did enough to solidify herself as the Wildcats’ go-to arm.
The junior right-hander went the distance in Sunday’s 3-2 win as No. 10 Arizona completed the four-game sweep. Bowen scattered six hits and two walks while striking out three.
“She’s really trying to attack the first pitch and get ahead of hitters, and the thing I love about her right now is her game has progressed because she can throw it on four different planes,” head coach Mike Candrea said.
