Emily Zaplatosch made a rain-shortened weekend as long and arduous as her last name for the No. 2 Arizona softball team.

The senior catcher tapped a single through the infield with no one out and the bases loaded in the bottom of the seventh inning, and No. 13 UCLA (23-10, 4-4 Pacific 10 Conference) completed a two-game sweep of the Wildcats (31-6, 5-4) 5-4 at Easton Stadium in Los Angeles.

Zaplatosch dominated junior pitcher Alicia Hollowell (21-5) over the weekend, hitting a pair of two-run home runs in the Bruins' 9-1, six-inning victory Saturday and knocking in four runs yesterday to push UCLA back to .500 in the conference standings. [Read article]
