Wildcats no match for Bruins as Arizona softball shutout for first time since May of last season.
Arizona Daily Star It wasn't exactly an opening of the floodgates, but a three-run second-inning home run by UCLA's Kennedy Powell of Arizona starter Aissa Silva allowed the No. 2 Bruins to get rolling downhill en route to an 8-0 win over the Wildcats Friday night at Hillenbrand Stadium.
No. 24 Arizona and the Bruins are back at Hillenbrand Saturday at 1 p.m. before closing out the series Sunday at noon. Saturday's matchup is set for broadcast and live stream through the Pac-12's Oregon channel, while Sunday's game will be nationally televised via Pac-12 Network. Out of the other dugout, UCLA's Megan Faraimo threw six innings of scoreless ball, giving up five hits and striking out six while walking one. Lauren Shaw threw one inning of relief work, allowing two hits and striking out two.
Former Wildcats Sharlize Palacios, catching for UCLA Friday night, and Janelle Meono in centerfield both went hitless in a combined five at bats in their former home park.
