TUCSON – The Arizona Wildcats will have to play another day for a chance to get back to the Women’s College World Series.
Arizona lost to Baylor 6-4 after a sixth inning that saw the Wildcats go from a 4-2 lead to a 6-4 deficit.
The Wildcats scored two runs in the sixth inning on run-scoring hits from Mandie Perez and Mo Mercado but couldn’t hold off the Bears after that.
The Super Regional rubber match will take place on Sunday at 4 p.m. The No. 2-seeded Arizona is looking to make its first WCWS since 2010.
The Wildcats went with Taylor McQuillin in the circle on Saturday night, and the sophomore lasted until the sixth inning before allowing a one-out double.
After ace Danielle O’Toole entered, things only got worse.
After a strikeout, Jessie Scroggins hit an RBI single and Sydney Christensen and Taylor Ellis hit back-to-back doubles, scoring three runs combined.
O’Toole (30-5) was credited with the loss after McQuillin lasted 5.1 innings, allowing two earned runs on six hits with three strikeouts and a walk.
Baylor avoided Arizona star slugger Katiyana Mauga, walking her all four times she came to the plate.
