• After winning Game 1 of the College World Series Finals, Arizona will look to capture National Championship No. 5 Tuesday night in the second game of the Best of 3 Championship Series at TD Ameritrade Park. 
• The Cats took Game 1 behind a dominant pitching performance from JC Cloney. The junior left-hander tossed a shutout, allowing just four hits in a 3-0 win. He's tossed 16 shutout innings in two CWS starts.
• Zach Gibbons had one hit in Monday's win and now has 104 for the season. He's tied for fourth all time in single-season hits in school history with Terry Francona and Todd Trafton. For his career, Gibbons has 288 hits, which is tied for fourth-most with Jeff Van Houten. 
• Since May 19, Arizona has traveled more than 15,000 miles and played 16 games in six stadiums.
• Arizona pitchers have totaled 101 strikeouts this postseason, which is the most by a Wildcat staff in the Super Regional era. The previous best was 60.
• Arizona's pitching staff has allowed just six runs in 54 innings at the College World Series for a 1.00 ERA. The staff has struck out 54 batters with opposing batters hitting just .186 off them. 
• Cameron Ming has pitched in four CWS games. For the postseason, Ming has a 1.10 ERA in eight appearances and is 1-0 with four saves. He's struck out 17, while giving up just six hits.

Back Home in Omaha: Arizona is set to make its 17th all-time appearance (38-27 record) at the College World Series, which ranks tied for seventh-most in NCAA history … The Wildcats are making their first appearance in Omaha since winning their fourth national championship in 2012 … In addition to titles in 1976, 1980 and 196, the Wildcats finished runner-up on three previous occasions (1956, 1959 and 1963) … Arizona's four championships are tied for fifth-most in NCAA history … The Wildcats are the only school to have won multiple national championships at Rosenblatt Stadium and then returned to secure another title at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, which opened in 2011 … UA's 38 victories at the College World Series are tied with Oklahoma State for sixth-most in NCAA history … The Wildcats are 21-9 over their last seven CWS appearances, including a five-game win streak following the 2012 national title.

Evens Are Odd: Of Arizona's 17 all-time College World Series appearances, 12 have come in even-numbered years, including here in 2016. Perhaps most interesting is that all four of the program's national championships were won in even-numbered years, including most recently in 2012. Additionally, the Wildcats last four trips to Omaha (2016, 2012, 2004 and 1986) have been in such years. Arizona owns a 28-17 record at the College World Series in even-numbered years, while going 10-10 in the odd-numbered seasons. 

Leaders of the Pac: Since Arizona joined the Pac-10/12 Conference for the 1979 season, no league school has won more national championships. The Wildcats have brought home titles in 1980, 1986 and 2012, while Stanford and Oregon State each have two championships apiece during that time. The Wildcats also join UCLA (2013 national champions) as the only two conference programs to make multiple appearances at TD Ameritrade Park Omaha, where the College World Series has been held since 2011. The Pac-12 Conference has more national titles than any other conference.

Welcome to the Club, Jay Johnson: First-year head coach Jay Johnson has done something his predecessors have not: take Arizona to the College World Series in his first year on the job. With the trip to Omaha, Johnson is the fourth Wildcat head coach to guide the program to the College World Series. Frank Sancet led the program to eight CWS appearances, including three runner-up finishes, from 1950-1972. Jerry Kindall followed with five CWS trips and three national championships during his tenure from 1973-1996. Most recently, Andy Lopez coached the Cats to Omaha three times, winning it all in 2012 over a 14-year career that ended with his retirement last summer. 

Last Time in Omaha: Arizona has fond memories of its last trip to TD Ameritrade Park, where the Wildcats won the 2012 national championship. Most impressive about Arizona's run to the title was that it never trailed in five contests, dispatching Florida State in extra innings in the opener, shutting out UCLA in Game 2 and ultimately eliminating the Seminoles again to send the Wildcats to the championships series. In the final series, Arizona dropped two-time defending national champion South Carolina by scores of 5-1 and 4-1 to win the title. Robert Refsnyder won Most Outstanding Player honors for a 10-for-21 performance in Omaha that included two homers. Konner Wade was nearly as deserving, pitching a pair of complete games with only one run allowed. Combined with fellow starters Kurt Heyer and James Farris, the Cats were the first team since 1957 -- in 55 years -- to have its starters in each CWS game pitch at least 7.1 innings. UA needed only two relievers in Omaha, one of them being lefty Tyler Crawford, who is now a fifth-year senior with the Wildcats and the only player on the roster with previous NCAA tournament experience. It's accomplished experience, too, with a 16-1 record for his club in the 2012 and 2016 tourneys.

Arizona vs. Miami: The Cats and Canes have a bit of history on the diamond, including in Omaha. All-time, Miami leads the series, 7-4, with the most recent meetings coming at the 2008 Coral Gables Super Regional. There, Arizona won Game 1, 6-3, but dropped the next two contests by scores of 14-10 and 4-2 as Miami went on to the College World Series. As far as meetings in Omaha, Miami won the most recent, which was a 4-2 decision on June 7, 1986. However, Arizona would respond to defeat Florida State two days later to claim the national championships. The only other matchup at the CWS was on June 1, 1979, which Arizona won, 5-1.

No Senioritis for Bannister: Senior right-hander Nathan Bannister has developed into the ace of the staff for the Arizona Wildcats this season. Bannister leads the team in innings pitched (132.2), strikeouts (98), complete games (3) and starts (18). Bannister is first in the Pac-12 in innings pitched, first in wins, tied for fourth in strikeouts, sixth in earned run average and fourth in opposing batting average. All total this season, Bannister is 11-2 with a 2.71 ERA. Opposing batters are hitting just .201 against him this season and he's holding left-handed hitters to a .175 average, holding them to just 41-234. He's also holding hitters to a .153 clip with two outs (23-150) and a .200 average with runners on base. Bannister's .201 batting average against is the best by an Arizona starter in at least 20 years. In 2007, Preston Guilmet, who earned Pac-12 Pitcher of the Year honors, held opposing hitters to a .205 clip. Overall, Bannister's 18 starts rank third in the country. His 0.94 WHIP is 14th in the nation and his 11 wins rank ninth.

Bannister in the Postseason: The senior righty was named the Most Outstanding Player of the Lafayette Region after making two starts and going 2-0. He pitched 14 innings, allowing nine hits and three runs, while striking out nine and walking six. He started the team's first game of the Regional against Sam Houston State, tossing seven shutout innings against the Bearkats. Then on Monday, on two days rest, Bannister faced Louisiana in a win-or-go-home game, and again, went seven innings, allowing three runs and lifting his team to a winner-take-all Regional Final rematch with Louisiana. Since going to the Super Regional format in 1999, Bannister is third Arizona pitcher to start two games in a regional, joining Kurt Heyer in 2011 and John Meloan in 2005. He's the first two win two games in a regional. Heyer went 0-2 and Meloan went 1-1. Bannister earned a no decision in his start against Mississippi State, tossing six innings and giving up three runs.

A Total Team Effort: Arizona posted a staff ERA this season of 3.42, which is the lowest since the Cats pitching staff posted a 3.25 ERA in 1976, which resulted in National Championship No. 1 under Jerry Kindall. In 2011, Arizona posted a 3.57 ERA. The Cats have five pitchers with 54 or more innings with an ERA under 3.72 in Nathan Bannister, Kevin Ginkel, JC Cloney, Bobby Dalbec and Cameron Ming. Bannister and Cloney, both full-time starters, have ERAs of 2.63 and 2.86. Dalbec, who is third on the team behind Bannister and Cloney with 80 innings pitched, has a 2.92 ERA to go with a 10-4 record and seven saves.  

The Great Dalbino: Junior third baseman/pitcher Bobby Dalbec continues to prove he's one of the best two-way players in the nation. On the mound, Dalbec has been dominant both as a starting pitcher and reliever. He's made a team-high 26 appearances on the season with four starts. Dalbec had the best start of his Arizona career last weekend in Starkville for the Super Regionals. He went 8 2/3 scoreless innings against Mississippi State, earning his 10th win of the season in a 1-0 victory over the Bulldogs. At the plate, Dalbec is the team's hottest hitter, riding a current 10-game hitting streak.  He's 18-36 during the streak with six multi-hit games. He had one double and one home run to post a .769 slugging percentage for the Regional weekend in Lafayette. During his 10-game hitting streak, Dalbec's average has risen from .226 to .270.  For his career, Dalbec has 15 wins and 14 saves on the mound, to go with 23 home runs at the plate. He's the only player in program history to post double-digit wins, saves and home runs. The slugger also has 121 career runs driven in to go with 168 hits, 105 runs scored and 34 doubles. 

Postseason Sluggers: In their Regional Championship in Lafayette, the Wildcats hit .291 as a team, slugging 20 extra base hits in five games. The team combined for 13 doubles with Ryan Aguilar and Cesar Salazar each leading the way with three. The 13 doubles are the second most in the country of any postseason team. The 46 hits the team pounded out last weekend rank fifth. Of course, Arizona showed it is still very dangerous with the small game with eight sacrifice bunts, which led all teams in the postseason. The Cats had five players – Bobby Dalbec, Cody Ramer, Zach Gibbons, Louis Boyd and Ryan Aguilar – hit .300 or better in regional play. The Cats also drew 19 walks in five games, posting an on-base percentage of .376.

Keep on Climbing, Gibby: Senior right fielder Zach Gibbons continues to cement himself as one of the best hitters to ever play at Arizona. The Scottsdale native leads the team with a .381 batting average this season. He's pounded out 94 hits this season, which ranks tied for 9th best in the country. But it's what Gibbons has done for his career that's really stood out. Last weekend in regional play, Gibbons collected hit No. 274 to move into fifth all-time at Arizona in career hits.  He then added four more in Super Regional play, and enters CWS play with 278 career hits. He passed current Cleveland Indians manager Terry Francona last weekend to move into fifth. Francona, the winner of the 1980 Golden Spikes Award, finished his career with 271 hits. Gibbons would need 10 more hits to reach Jeff Van Houten for fourth. Van Houten finished his Arizona career with 288 hits. Gibbons has played in 223 career games, which is fifth most at Arizona. He's also just four walks away from entering the top ten in that category. Gibbons has 113 walks in his career. 

Aggie Comes Into His Own: Like Ramer, senior Ryan Aguilar was given the chance to be a regular in the lineup by head coach Jay Johnson this year and has risen to the challenge. After playing in just 26 games last season and hitting .190, Aguilar has posted a .311 batting average this season, which is third best on the team. He leads the team in doubles (21), home runs (eight) and RBI (51), all while being a rock solid defender at first base. Aguilar had six RBI last weekend in regional play, which led the team and then pelted a three-run home run in Starkville in Game 2. He was named to the All-Pac-12 Team and the All-Tournament team last weekend in Lafayette. Situationally, Aguilar is hitting .354 with two outs, .323 with runners in scoring position and .323 with runners on base.
