You couldn’t have written a better final chapter. UCLA and Arizona, two of the nation’s powerhouses, two blue bloods in softball, meeting one last time as Pac 12 rivals on Senior Day with Glendale, Ariz.,-born freshman pitcher Kaitlin Terry in the circle for the Bruins and Arizona transfer Sharlize Palacios hitting a game-tying grand slam to put an exclamation point on a seven-run fifth inning.

Despite going into the fifth staring down a 7-0 hole, while being no-hit by Wildcats starting pitcher Aissa Silva, Palacios and the Bruins never lost faith that they could pull off a win.
