Arizona softball’s 21-game winning streak finally came to an end Saturday in Berkeley where the Wildcats were upset by the California Golden Bears in extra innings.
It was Arizona’s first loss to a Pac-12 opponent this season, putting them in a tie with the UCLA Bruins atop the conference standings at 17-1.
The longstanding rivals still have to face each other in Westwood to round out the regular season on May 9-11, a three-game series that will all but determine the Pac-12 champion.
While Arizona and UCLA are dead even right now, the Wildcats could be facing an uphill battle by the time they arrive at Easton Stadium.
