Sophomore Konner Wade pitched a five-hit shutout as Arizona beat Pac-12 rival UCLA 4-0 in a College World Series game Sunday night in Omaha, Neb.

Arizona (45-17) is one victory from advancing to the best-of-three CWS final.

UCLA (48-15), which lost for the first time in 11 games, will play Florida State (49-16) in an elimination game Tuesday.

"It's all about taking blows at the College World Series," UCLA coach John Savage said. "It's not a dagger. It's a blow. We'll move on and we'll be ready to play on Tuesday night."

Florida State crushed Stony Brook of New York 12-2 in a loser-out game.

Nalbandian loses final

after injuring line judge

The Queen's Club final in London was halted abruptly when David Nalbandian of Argentina injured a line judge, handing the title to Marin Cilic of Croatia.

Nalbandian won the first set 7-6 (7-3) and was behind 3-4 in the second set when he kicked a barrier surrounding the line judge in anger. A piece of the barrier hit the line judge, causing bleeding on his left shin, and the chair umpire decided to end the match.

ATP rules state any violent action will result in an automatic default.

Nalbandian admitted making a mistake but added, "I didn't feel it had to end like that, especially in a final."
