Reyna Carranco out for ‘a while’ with broken thumb. Here’s how Arizona plans to replace her

Don’t ask
Reyna Carranco for the winning lottery numbers. She has the worst luck.
For the third time in four years, a broken bone will keep Arizona’s All-American second baseman out for an extended period of time. The senior fractured the thumb on her throwing hand in practice before Thursday’s doubleheader and will be out for “a while,” according to head coach
Mike Candrea.
Broken bones typically take four to six weeks to heal, meaning Carranco might be in jeopardy of missing Arizona’s Pac-12 opener at Washington on March 19. It’s probably best to keep her away from the Huskies anyway.

The future of Arizona softball was on full display on Sunday, and boy is it a bright one. The Wildcats got all kinds of contributions from their underclassmen in a 10-1 run-ruling of Southern Utah.
Flamethrowing freshman
Devyn Netz made her debut in the circle and tossed four innings of one-run ball for her first career win. It was closed out by fellow freshman
Jessie Fontes, who threw a 1-2-3 fifth.
Freshman first baseman
Carlie Scupin clubbed her first career homer, a no-doubter to left that gave the Wildcats a 2-1 lead in the second.
