TEMPE, AZ – Taking on rival ASU (26-24, 14-13) in a midweek showdown, No. 17 Arizona Basketball (30-17, 17-7) came away with the 5-3 win over the Sun Devils!
Fresh off of a sweep of Stanford from this past weekend, No. 17 Arizona Baseball was back in action on Tuesday night, taking on rival Arizona State for a non-conference showdown.
Getting the start on the bump for the Cats, Arizona turned to Bradon Zastrow in this one; however, it was truly a team effort in this one as the Wildcats used nine pitchers on the evening.
Luckily for us, it worked out for the best as Arizona surrendered just three earned runs despite giving up 11 hits. More impressively, the Wildcats struck out 10 Sun Devil batters and stranded eight ASU runners.

Offensively, the Wildcats did just enough to win this one as they plated five runs on 10 hits including three home runs. Led behind a solid offensive effort from Mason White, Brendan Summerhill, Andrew Cain, and TJ Adams, together the four went a combined 9-15 from the dish with five RBIs.
This one took a little bit to get going, but boy did it provide some great moments. Tied 0-0 heading into the third inning, the Wildcats broke the scoreless drought as they exploded for three runs in the inning.
The inning started with TJ Adams homering to center when he turned on a 1-1 pitch to make it 1-0. After Brendan Summerhill drew a walk, Mason White would capitalize, turning on a 1-0 pitch that he sailed to right field to make it 3-0, Arizona.
Leading comfortably, Arizona would get things going early in the next inning when Andrew Cain would lead off with a homer to right field to make it 4-0 Cats!
ASU would get one back in the fourth to cut Arizona’s lead to 4-1, but luckily, the Wildcats’ offensive barrage wouldn’t cease. Still leading heading into the sixth, the Wildcats would use a few timely hits that would ultimately set up Summerhill who would fly out to right field as he scored Cain from third to make it 5-1.

Unfortunately, ASU would score two more times, once in the eighth inning and again in the ninth, before Anthony “Tonko” Susac shut the door on the Devils for good as he picked up his second save of the season. Sophomore right-hander Casey Hintz would pick up the win in this one, pitching one-and-two-thirds innings as he improved to 3-1 on the season.
With the win, the Wildcats improve to 30-17 (17-7) on the year and look to turn their focus towards Utah when they travel to Salt Lake City this weekend!

Former Michigan sophomore defenseman Hunter Hady has transferred to Arizona State, according to an announcement on the team Instagram. The 6’4’’ defenseman will join the Sun Devils for his junior year.
Hady played just two games on Michigan’s blue line this season against Harvard in November and against Bentley in the NCAA regional semifinal. He recorded a secondary assist on junior forward Garrett Schifsky’s goal in the Bentley game for his only point of the year.
Hady’s contributions were more substantive in his freshman season — though his point total remained the same. He played 32 games for Michigan as the team struggled to find defensive pairings that worked throughout the year. Hady was a reliable blue line presence who could be counted on to provide solid defense and not make significant errors.
Prior to playing for the Wolverines, Hady spent three seasons with the Chicago Steel of the USHL, where he played with current Michigan teammates senior defenseman Luca Fantilli, sophomore forward Michael Hage and junior forward Jayden Perron, among others. He joins an Arizona State team that lost ground in the NCHC this season and is looking to reach a Frozen Four for the second time in its program history.
TUCSON, Ariz. (KGUN) — Jessica Cox, the world’s first licensed armless airplane pilot and a leading advocate for disability-led innovation, will be inducted into the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame on Friday, May 15, 2026. The induction ceremony, hosted by Rightfooted Foundation International in collaboration with the Pima Air & Space Museum, will take place at the museum from 4:30 p.m. to 7:30 p.m.
Cox’s recognition honors both her historic achievement in flight and her ongoing work expanding access and opportunity for people without arms. Through her leadership at Rightfooted Foundation International (RFI), Cox has championed mentorship, education and practical innovations that help aspiring pilots and families reimagine what’s possible in aviation and beyond.
“Saying I’m proud of her can’t fully encompass what I feel,” said Patrick Chamberlain, Cox’s husband and RFI’s Inclusive Engineering Director. “Jessica’s induction into the Arizona Aviation Hall of Fame recognizes both what she has accomplished and what she continues to do. She has helped shed light on the many pilots with disabilities in aviation and shown the world that disability does not mean inability.”
The 2026 induction class also honors two military aviators: Frank Schiel Jr., a Phoenix-born Flying Tigers veteran credited with seven enemy aircraft destroyed in World War II, and James K. Johnson, a Phoenix-born U.S. Air Force colonel and Korean War double ace credited with ten aerial victories.

Since the Arizona Cardinals want to trade back from the No. 3 picks, here are three deals that could work.
The Arizona Cardinals have the third pick in the 2026 NFL draft, which begins this week on Thursday. All the reports coming out are saying that they want to trade out of the pick to acquire more draft picks.
But what does a trade look like and who could be involved?

The Kansas City Chiefs are involved in talks at some level. ESPN’s Adam Schefter expects trade talks to heat up this week.
NFL teams use a variation of a trade value chart when it comes to draft picks. Now, what a team actually is willing to give up can be influenced by potential competition with other teams, but we can’t count on that.
Here is the general trade value chart teams use.
Here are some potential deals that could be done.
Kansas City Chiefs
The Chiefs have two first-round picks, which would be appealing to the Cardinals, who reportedly want to make a move for quarterback Ty Simpson, and the 29th pick might be just the spot to get him.

The third overall pick is worth 514 points.
The Chiefs’ picks at No. 9 (387 points) and No. 29 (202 points) together are worth 589.
To make up the difference, the Cardinals could give up No. 65 (78 points) for a total of 592 points.
One deal could be:
Cardinals receive get No. 9 and No. 29 (589 points)
Chiefs receive No. 3 and No. 65 (592 points)
Another could be:
Cardinals receive No. 9, No. 29, No. 74 and 2027 third-round pick (653 points + value of future third-round pick, which is 36-78 points)
Chiefs receive No. 3 and No. 34 (689 points)
The Cardinals keep their third-round pick and the Chiefs essentially move back five spots from No. 29.
Dallas Cowboys
The Cowboys have the 12th and 20th picks but no pick in the second round.

Pick No. 12 is 347 points and No. 20 is 269 for a total of 616.
This deal is close:
Cardinals receive No. 12, No. 20 (616 points)
Cowboys receive No. 3, No. 65 (592 points)
New Orleans Saints
The Saints are perhaps a dark horse to move up, although they do not have two first-round picks. They have the No. 8 pick, worth 406 points. Their second-round pick, at No. 42, is worth 142 points.
This deal could work:
Cardinals receive No. 8, No. 42 (548 points)
Saints receive No. 3, No. 104 (547 points)
Then the Cardinals could use their two second-round picks to then move back into Round 1 to get Ty Simpson.
They could trade No. 34, No. 42 and No. 65 (395 points) for No. 28, No. 38 and No. 106 (398 total points).
