Home at Hi Corbett: Arizona, 23-4, at home this season, has thrived playing at Hi Corbett Field this season, thanks in large part to the fan support from the Arizona faithful. During a 10-game stretch versus conference teams, three against USC, one against Arizona State, three against Oregon and three against Utah, Arizona has drawn a total of 38,907 fans for an average of 3,890. Arizona drew 5,208 fans to its Friday night affair with Oregon, marking the largest non-ASU crowd since the Wildcats moved to Hi Corbett prior to the 2012 season. Only one other time had Arizona drawn more than 5,000 fans for a non-Arizona State game. That came in 2013 when the defending national champion Wildcats opened their season against Coppin State and drew 5,145 fans. Arizona again topped the 5,000 mark Friday in the series opener against Washington when 5,154 fans came out. Four of Arizona's top seven attendance figures at Hi Corbett have come with Jay Johnson as the head coach.

Smile for the Camera: After each win, Coach Jay Johnson takes his team to the outfield for a postgame meeting and a team picture. The reasoning for the picture is simple: Winning in college baseball is hard, and Johnson wants his squad to appreciate it. Well, in Johnson's first 57 home games, his team has taken 46 pictures in the right field grass. Johnson's 46-11 start at home is the third-best mark by an Arizona coach through 57 home games. Johnson is third to Frank Sancet, who went 43-6-1 from 1950-1952, nothing wins over such programs as Camp Pendelton, San Diego Marines, National University of Mexico and Casa Grande Apcos, and Jerry Kindall, who went 43-10.
