University of Arizona vs South Carolina

Arizona’s Katiyana Mauga is congratulated by coach Mike Candrea after she ripped a homer to put the Wildcats up 1-0 against South Carolina in the third inning of their NCAA regional game at Hillenbrand Stadium.

The No. 2-seeded Arizona Wildcats will spend much of the Super Regional round out of the sunlight.

With Tucson summer heat set to kick in this week, the Wildcats will begin a best-of-three series against No. 15-seeded Baylor on Friday night at 6 or 7 p.m., to be televised on ESPN2.

The second game of the series will take place on Saturday at 6 p.m. and aired on ESPN.

Finally, an (if necessary) third game would be on Sunday at 4 p.m. and televised on ESPNU.

With two victories over the Bears, Arizona would advance to its first Women's College World Series in Oklahoma City since 2010. The Wildcats are fresh off a regional championship victory, winning 9-0 on Sunday against South Carolina.
