BATON ROUGE, La. - Fueled by four runs in the first inning in the second consecutive game, LSU earned the Super Regional sweep over Arizona with a 10-5 victory to eliminate the Wildcats two wins shy of the Women's College World Series for the second straight year.
Arizona ended the season with a 41-20 record.
The game also ended the storied careers of Kellie Fox, Chelsea Goodacre, Chelsea Suitos and Hallie Wilson, who rewrote the Arizona history books in their own ways.
Goodacre had two RBI on Sunday, pushing her NCAA-leading total to 86 on the season, the ninth most in Arizona history. Her 24 home runs and 86 RBI in 2015 gave her 71 and 239, respectively, for her career, marking the fifth most home runs and eighth most RBI in school history.
Hallie Wilson had three hits in her final game in Arizona history, giving her 285 hits in her career, just shy of the Arizona top 10.
Just as it did on Saturday, LSU used some Wildcat pitching inaccuracy to load the bases as two walks and a single put a trio of Tigers on for Sandra Simmons, who singled in a pair before Constance Quinn doubled in two more to give LSU a 4-0 lead in the first.
The Cats responded in the bottom of the first. A single, error and walk loaded the bases with nobody out. Katiyana Mauga brought home a run with a groundout before Chelsea Goodacre hit a sacrifice fly to make it 4-2 after one.
LSU got the two runs back in the third when Simmons hit a two-run homer to make it 6-2.
In the home half, Kellie Fox tripled to left center when the LSU left and center fielders ran into each other. Fox then scored on a ground ball off the bat of Mauga to make it 6-3 in the third.
Parks entered to pitch in the fourth and surrendered two runs on two hits as the Tigers expanded their lead to 8-3.
In the bottom of the fifth, two singles and an error loaded the bases with nobody out for Arizona's 3-4-5 hitters. Fox and Goodacre walked in runs before LSU went to the bullpen to get Hoover, who struck out the next two Wildcats to get out of the inning.
After stranding the bases loaded in the fifth, the Cats left runners at second and third in the sixth before LSU added two runs of insurance.
