Arizona Advances to Big 12 Championship with 12-1 Win over No. 1 West Virginia

Arizona Wildcats advanced to the Big 12 Baseball Championship game after a dominant 12-1 win over top-seeded West Virginia, powered by Mason White's outstanding offensive performance. White, a Salpointe Catholic graduate, hit two home runs, including a three-run blast, and drove in six runs, tying his career-high for RBIs and moving to second place on Arizona's all-time home run list with 45. Pitcher Raul Garayzar, a Rio Rico native, threw six scoreless innings, scattering six hits with three strikeouts, helping Arizona maintain control throughout the game. Arizona's offense was particularly effective with two outs, producing nine hits and eight RBIs, while West Virginia managed only a single run late in the game. The Wildcats will face either Kansas or TCU in the championship game, aiming for their second consecutive conference tournament title after winning the Pac-12 tournament last year. This marks Arizona's third straight year playing in a conference championship game and their first year competing in the Big 12.
