Arizona starting pitcher Danielle O'Toole (3) deals against Washington in the fourth inning enroute to pitching a no-hitter in their Pac-12 softball game at Hillenbrand Stadium, Friday, March 24, 2017, Tucson, Ariz. Kelly Presnell / Arizona Daily Star

Arizona senior pitcher Danielle O’Toole’s no-hitter Friday night against No. 6 Washington was the 90th in UA history. How good is that? Arizona State’s pitchers have 35 no-hitters in history and Washington has 34. The Wildcats will play at doubleheader against Grand Canyon on Wednesday afternoon-evening at Hillenbrand Stadium and it’ll be old home week for four Antelopes, including assistant coach Kelsey Rodriguez, who in 2014 as a Wildcat standout was the Pac-12 Scholar-Athlete of the Year. The Grand Canyon starting lineup includes Ironwood Ridge grad Loriann Olson, who is hitting .347, and CDO’s Niki Gonzalez, who is hitting .324 for a 25-9 team that is favored to win the WAC title.
