Oregon State defeated Arizona State on Saturday afternoon, giving Arizona a chance to gain in the Pac-12 standings and avoid a bad draw in next week’s Pac-12 Tournament. Despite facing a starting pitcher who came in with a 6.39 ERA, the Wildcats were unable to put it all together as they fell to California 8-6 on Saturday evening at Hillenbrand Stadium.
“Offensively it took us a little while to get on time,” said Arizona head coach Caitlin Lowe. “Once we did, we settled in pretty good. I thought we had our best at-bats towards the end.
