Freshman Jessie Harper snapped a streak of 13 at bats without a hit by singling in the final score to give Arizona a 3-2 victory over Baylor in game one of the best-of-three Super Regional of the NCAA Softball Championships.

UA (52-7) needs one more victory to earn its first trip to the Women’s College World Series since 2010. Baylor (46-13) must win Saturday to force a third game on Sunday.

UA’s Danielle O’Toole won her 30th game against four defeats, giving up six hits and walking none while Gia Rodoni (17-3) took the loss for Baylor in relief.

Mandie Perez led off the UA seventh with an infield single and after a wild pitch during Katiyana Mauga’s at bat moved her to second, Rodoni intentionally threw ball four. Mo Mercado followed with a single to left to load the bases with no outs. Harper followed with her first postseason hit to win the game.

Arizona’s video crew at work:

One-for-13 in the postseason but that “one” was something last night.

Hollywood script: And it was Harper’s birthday.

Arizona amassed 12 hits against a Baylor pitcher who threw two no-hitters last week in regional play.
