SCOTTSDALE – Just as they did when winning the regular season championship, ARIZONA won the 2024 Pac-12 Baseball Championship in their final at-bat as Tommy Splaine's RBI single in the bottom of the ninth to give the Wildcats a 4-3 victory.
The #1 seed Wildcats officially secured the Pac-12's automatic bid for the upcoming NCAA Tournament with the win over the #4 seed USC.
The Trojans led 3-0 heading into the 7th inning behind the excellent pitching of Caden Aoki, who did not allow a hit until the bottom of the 7th. Arizona clawed out one run that inning before adding two more in the 8th to tie it.
