After playing the past two weekends in hostile road environments, Arizona baseball will be rewarded Saturday with a home-field advantage of sorts.
No, the Wildcats won’t generate the largest fan support of the competing teams at the College World Series, but Arizona may be better suited for the cavernous alleys of TD Ameritrade Park than any of the seven other schools.
Arizona, which opens the College World Series Saturday night against Miami, is used to playing small-ball baseball in a big-league park.
Arizona’s home park, Hi Corbett Field, stretches 366 feet down the left-field line, 410 feet to straight-away center and 349 feet to right.
