The Arizona baseball team pulled to within one game of the Pacific-10 Conference lead after a historic road series victory over No. 4 Stanford with an 11-6 victory yesterday.

The 2-1 series win was Arizona's (30-16, 9-6 Pac-10) first against the Cardinal in a decade and marked the first time since the 1999 season that Stanford (28-13, 10-5) lost a series at home in the Sunken Diamond.

The Wildcat offense exploded for six unanswered runs in the last four innings to ice the rubber match of the series yesterday. Junior Moises Duran knocked in John Hardy with a sixth-inning double to break a 6-6 tie, and freshman Derek Decater returned the favor by driving in Hardy with a two-out single to push UA ahead by two.

The women's golf team placed second at this weekend's Pac-10 Championship, ending a streak of three consecutive titles and dashing any hope of winning its seventh conference title, something no other program has ever accomplished.

The runner-up finish was mainly due to the Wildcats' inability to finish their round, something that has haunted them most of the year.

"I'm disappointed because we didn't finish well," head coach Greg Allen said. "We played the last five holes eight over par. A few girls got on the bogey train and couldn't get off." [Read article]

The UA men's golf team will tee it up today as the favorite at the Pac-10 Championships and will try to wrap up one of the most successful spring seasons in team history.

The only drawback this week is the emphasis on depth, as the Pac-10 Championships allow six players to play, taking the top five scores every day.

With the different scoring style and four rounds played in three days, this format makes the Pac-10 tournament one of the toughest in the country. [Read article]
