The Wildcats overcome a 2-0 deficit, capitalizing on multiple Cardinal mistakes; they end the game with a double play from center field to the plate.

Michael Lev Before last weekend, Chip Hale never had coached in a Pac-12 Conference game. But the Arizona player-turned-Wildcats coach knew what it would take to win.

“It was a tough one at Cal last Friday night,” said Hale, whose team won its fourth in a row to improve to 14-4, 3-1 in the Pac-12. “I told them at some point we're going to get a game where we put the pressure on another team, and they're going to make some mistakes. We got it back tonight.” UA starter TJ Nichols watched it all unfold from the dugout. Nichols had pitched into the ninth inning, nearly matching equally brilliant Stanford ace Alex Williams.

“He's a Friday-night starter – or the first-night starter – in the Pac 12 for a reason. We count on him.” After Chase Davis lined out to left, Tommy Splaine hit a slow roller to the left side. Stanford third baseman Drew Bowser had no play at first and wisely whirled around toward third. Susac had rounded the bag and was caught between third and home. But Bowser made an errant throw, allowing Susac to score the go-ahead run.
