Game Recap: Baseball | | Arizona Athletics

SCOTTSDALE, Ariz. —A spectacular start from Clark Candiotti propelled the Arizona Wildcats (35-21) to a 6-3 victory over the Stanford Cardinal (22-33) in the Pac-12 Tournament semifinals on Friday night at Scottsdale Stadium.

Candiotti (7-3) was dominant for the Wildcats, working seven one-run innings and striking out 11 to earn his seventh win of the year. At one point the tall right-handerretired 16 consecutive Stanford batters.

Center fielder Brendan Summerhill put the Wildcats on the board in the third inning with a three-run home run that rattled off the right field foul pole; it was his eighth long ball of the season.

The Cats scored again in the fourth and tacked on two more in the sixth to expand their lead all the way to 6-0. Stanford tallied one run in each of the final three innings but could not complete the comeback.

Arizona, the Pac-12 regular season champions, will look to close out the Pac-12 era of their history with their first-ever tournament crown on Saturday night against the USC Trojans.
