"Arizona Baseball has long been one of the nation's premier programs, and coach Chip Hale has honored that legacy while elevating our standard of excellence,' Arizona athletic director Desiree Reed-Francois said in a statement. 'He is a proud Wildcat, a proven leader, and a tremendous ambassador for the University of Arizona. With Chip leading the way, we are well-positioned to compete for championships and continue developing exceptional young men on and off the field.'
Hale has led Arizona to the NCAA Tournament four straight times since returning to Tucson to coach his alma mater in 2021. The Wildcats returned to the College World Series this year for the first time since 2021.
Hale, a former manager of the Arizona Diamondbacks, has led Arizona to consecutive conference tournament championships, coached six All-Americans and two first-round Major League Baseball picks.

Wolves makes Jorgen Strand Larsen's move permanent after an impressive loan season
WOLVERHAMPTON, England (AP) — Wolverhampton announced Norway forward Jorgen Strand Larsen has become its permanent player after an impressive season on loan with the Premier League club. The Wolves said on Tuesday Strand Larson who came on loan from from Spanish La Liga side Celta Vigo last year has a deal until 2029 after 'the striker achieved certain clauses in his contract which automatically turned his loan permanent.' The 25-year-old scored 14 goals in 35 games for the Wolves in the Premier League last season, becoming the record scorer in his debut season for the club in the top flight, beating Raul Jimenez's 13 goals in the 2018-19 season. 'It's been a good first season in the Premier League,' Strand Larsen said. 'I'm proud of what I've done.' In June, the Wolves signed another player from Celta Vigo, attacking midfielder Fer Lopez, on a five-year contract. ___ AP soccer:
