Losers of four of the last six, including two of three at last-place USC, Arizona returns home for its final Pac-12 series at Hi Corbett Field this weekend. And it won’t be an easy one.
The Wildcats (33-17, 14-10) host conference leader Oregon State, which moved to No. 1 in Baseball America’s latest Top 25 while remaining second in the D1Baseball.com poll. The Beavers (39-9, 18-6) have won seven in a row, the last two via shutout, and are projected as the No. 2 overall seed in next month’s NCAA Tournament by both Baseball America and D1Baseball.
A tall task, for sure, but not one UA players and coaches are going to treat any differently.
