Now comes the waiting game for Arizona, which helped its bid for an NCAA tournament appearance by winning two out of three games at Oregon this weekend.
The Wildcats, 34-22 overall and 14-16 in the Pac-12, capped the series with an 11-4 win over the Ducks today. It was Arizona’s first series win in Eugene, Ore., since 2009.
Shortstop Cameron Cannon went 3 for 3 with two RBIs on two doubles. He also stole a base. Third baseman Nick Quintana went 2 for 3 with two RBIs, including a run-scoring double.
