As always in college softball, the name of the game is pitching. Arizona led the Big 12 in batting average (.347), runs (436), home runs (83) and had the fewest errors (44).

Arizona coach Fred Harvey, appointed head coach in 2002, did the best he could and then some.

The most troubling Tucson sports news I heard this week is that renowned Tucson golf course architect Ken Kavanaugh has separated himself from the ill-conceived idea to redesign the Dell Urich Golf Course at Randolph Park. Say it ain’t so, Ken.
