It pays to have star power.
Danielle O’Toole tossed a one-hit shutout and Katiyana Mauga homered to become the Pac-12’s new home run queen as Arizona softball beat South Carolina 5-0 on Saturday in the Tucson Regional.
Mauga’s third-inning blast, a solo shot to deep center which gave UA a 1-0 lead, was the 91st of her career, putting her atop the Pac-12’s all-time home run list.
O’Toole, the Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year, carried a no-hit bid into the seventh inning, which was broken up by a one-out double by Victoria Williams.
O’Toole (29-4) only needed 75 pitches to go the distance.
