It was 70 degrees at first pitch on Tuesday night when Arizona finished up a 4-game homestand at Hi Corbett Field. Eighteen hours later, when the Wildcats touched down in Salt Lake City, it was snowing.
While the forecast is better for Thursday, temperatures for the UA’s 3-game series at Utah aren’t expected to get out of the 50s. All three contests will also be at 10 a.m. PT, 11 a.m. local time, due to the Utes sharing a stadium with the Triple-A Salt Lake Bees.
The combination of early starts and a shared complex means Arizona can’t have a full practice at Smith’s Ballpark, relying on indoor batting cages and an off-site practice field.
