USC fails to clinch an automatic berth in the NCAA baseball tournament after Arizona rallies to a 4-3 walk-off win for the Pac-12 tournament title.
Tommy Splaine lined a run-scoring single in the bottom of the ninth inning and Arizona rallied from a three-run deficit to beat USC 4-3 on Saturday night in the Pac-12 baseball tournament championship game. The championship game was the final Pac-12 game for the conference as we know it, with 10 teams heading to new conferences next fall. The Wildcats lost to Oregon in last year’s title game and clinched the No. 1 seed in this year’s bracket after winning the regular-season title.
McDonald hit a one-out single off Josh Blum in the ninth inning and pinch runner Emilio Corona stole second. After an intentional walk to Andrew Cain, Splain lined a single and Corona slid in just ahead of left fielder Carson Wells' throw. The win could earn the Wildcats a chance to host a regional in the NCAA tournament. The Trojans saw their bid to make the NCAA tournament for the first time since 2015 erupt in the desert air.
