The Wildcats managed just five hits against Stanford Friday night, setting up a pivotal rubber match for Senior Day.
Not only were the Wildcats shut out at Hillenbrand Stadium for the fourth time this season, it marked the first time in 98 all-time meetings between the two schools that Stanford outscored Arizona by 10 or more runs.
Stanford scored runs in all five innings of the game — including five in the fifth — and came out as the early aggressor. Arizona’s Devyn Netz got the start in the circle and got the first two outs of the first inning before she allowed a solo home run to Kaitlyn Lim to make it 1-0. “I’m feeling more confident than I have in a while,” Scupin said. “Just really trying to focus on hitting line drives.”
The next Stanford batter hit an RBI single and two Cardinal runners advanced an extra base on a throwing error by center fielder Janelle Meono to make it 8-0. A two-run double a batter later put Arizona in run-rule territory and the Cats were unable to advance the game to the sixth.
