After two nail-biting, come-from-behind victories Saturday, the Arizona softball team had a much easier time Sunday on the final day of the Wildcat Invitational.
Paige Dimler homered and Carlie Scupin drove in three runs as UA bashed Loyola Chicago 11-0 in the mercy-rule win at Hillenbrand Stadium. The Wildcats led 1-0 after two innings before breaking the game open with a seven-run third.
Dimler, Scupin, Izzy Pacho and Giulia Koutsoyanopulos all had two hits for the Wildcats. Amber Toven had a two-run triple in the third to put UA up 7-0.
Devyn Netz (6-0) earned the win, allowing only a first-inning single to go with two walks and four strikeouts.
UA rallied past Boise State 5-4 on Saturday in the first game, then got a walkoff Scupin hit against Texas State to win 11-10 in a back-and-forth contest.
Arizona (15-4) is next in action against UTEP (9-11) for a doubleheader at Hillenbrand starting at 4 p.m. Tuesday. The Wildcats will then host the Bear Down Fiesta next weekend before starting Pac-12 play.
The Heritage Flight Training Course held at Davis-Monthan Air Force Base in Tucson runs through Sunday, March 6. Demonstration pilots flying vintage and modern aircraft are being trained and certified before performing in the upcoming air show season.Β
