Wildcats head to UCLA after winning just 1 of 3 against Washington


The Arizona Wildcats, the defending national champions, need wins badly if they hope to make it to the post season. As it stands now, they're on the bubble.

Losing 2 of 3 to Washington at Hi Corbett Field this weekend didn't help their cause as the Wildcats fall to 10-11 in the Pac-12 and 29-17 overall.

The Wildcats win 5-3 today over the Huskies, thanks to a three-run seventh inning. Riley Moore supplied what eventually would turn out to be the game-winner when he lashed a pitch to right field to score two runs and break a 3-3 tie.

And now it's on to UCLA and a three-game series next weekend with the Bruins.

The regular season is winding down. After the Bruins, Arizona will close out its schedule with a three-game series at Arizona State (May 17-19) and at home May 24, 25 and 26 against the USC Trojans.

Trent Gilbert has taken over the team RBI lead with 45. Brandon Dixon has driven in 43 runs this season, while Johnny Field is sitting at 38. Dixon is the leading hitter after 46 games with a .382 average.
