The Wildcast (Bonus): Mike Candrea on hosting a Super Regional, Arizona's bats and pitching depth
After cruising by Auburn 12-3 to claim the Tucson Regional, the Arizona Wildcats will host Ole Miss for a three-game series at Rita Hillenbrand Stadium. Winner of the Super Regional will punch its ticket to the Women's College World Series in Oklahoma. UA head coach Mike Candrea joined the Star's Justin Spears on ESPN Tucson this week to recap winning the regional and what it'll take for the Cats to advance to the WCWS for the first time since 2010.
