The last time the University of Utah baseball team (12-16, 3-9 Pac-12) played on its own diamond it won its conference home opener, and the Utes are looking to continue that success as they return home to Smith’s Ballpark for a three-game series against the California Bears (15-15, 7-5 Pac-12). All three games will be played at 11:30 am MT on Thursday, Friday and Saturday.
Game time had to be moved up to an earlier slot than normal because the Salt Lake Bees are also playing at home but in the evening. Although the time change is different, head coach Bill Kinneberg said they will make sure it isn’t a problem.
