OKLAHOMA CITY — It all starts in the circle. That’s been the mantra of coaches and pitchers for decades.
On Thursday morning, Arizona coach Mike Candrea returned to that when the Wildcats’ ace, Taylor McQuillin, outdueled Taran Alvelo, the ace of the Washington Huskies in a 3-1 win that harkened back to games played 20 years ago.
“This game kind of brought me back to the ‘90s, believe it or not,” Candrea said. “I’m probably older than most of you in this room. That’s what softball used to look like. You would compete, compete, compete.
