Omaha is the goal of every college baseball player and team, yet only eight groups get to end up there in mid-June each year for the College World Series.
Arizona was fortunate to be part of that octet in 2021, reaching the CWS for the 18th time in school history, but the trip was a quick one. The Wildcats were the first team eliminated, losing to Vanderbilt and Stanford, putting a damper on an otherwise stellar season.
They hope to be back again this June, but in the meantime they’re making an in-season visit to Charles Schwab Field (formerly TD Ameritrade Park) for a 2-game nonconference series against Creighton.
