After most home series, I do a “3 Up, 3 Down” wrap-up. It’s hard to do that after the dominance Arizona softball showed against the Stanford Cardinal this weekend. More than three positives and less than three negatives make for a difficult analysis.
The only major criticism over the three-day series was that Stanford was getting some hard-hit balls against the Arizona pitching staff. They still lost the series by a cumulative score of 29-3. They were run-ruled twice, and barely escaped the run rule in the first game.
Those hard-hit balls led to the second area that still needs to be addressed.
