Kenzie Legal Enough as Wildcats get by Huskies...



Kenzie Fowler was legal enough this afternoon as the Arizona Wildcats survived elimination in Oklahoma City and edged the defending champion Washington Huskies 4-3 to advance to tonight's game against surprising 16th-seeded Hawaii at the Women's College World Series. Fowler threw enough illegal pitches to make it interesting, including a seventh-inning pitch, her 24th airborne offering of the tournament, which led to the Huskies third run of the game, but a two-out flare to left field, caught by Brittany Lastrapes, closed out the game and allowed the Wildcats to win their first game at the Series since 2007.

Next up: Hawaii at 6:30 pm. Go 'Cats!

Wildcats Wave Goodbye to Hawaii

Wildcats Update: Fowler does it again! She leads the Arizona Wildcats to a 5-1 win tonight over Hawaii. Lastrapes provides the offensive punch with three hits and the Wildcats move on to face Tennessee tomorrow. Go 'Cats!

Wildcats Send Tennessee Packin'

Wildcats Update: Arizona sends Tennessee packing. Fowler no hits Lady Vols for four innings and the Wildcats win via the mercy rule 8-0 in Game 1 today and then comeback in the nightcap to win Game 2 as Fowler allows just six hits as the Wildcats come away with a 5-2 victory over Tennessee. The twin-killing of the Lady Vols sets up an all Pac-10 matchup with UCLA for the 2010 Women's College World Series title in Oklahoma City. Game 1 of the three-games series starts tomorrow night as Fowler will try to become the first freshman hurler in 20 years to lead her team to an NCAA Women's College World Series Championship. Nice comeback 'Cats!
