- Monday's game will be available to watch on ESPN+ for subscribers. No Arizona radio broadcast will be available.
- Arizona and UC Irvine have squared off 24 times in program history, with the Wildcats holding a 15-7-2 edge in the all time series.
- Games in the series date back to 1971, while the most recent matchup was in 2006. The two schools splits a two-game series in Tucson in 2006. The Wildcats last played the Anteaters in Irvine in February 2003, a three-game sweep for Arizona.
- Outfielder Chase Davis hit his 17th home run of the season on Sunday at Stanford, giving him 35 career home runs. He is currently tied with Nick Quintana (2017-19) for the fourth most home runs in program history. He is one home run shy of a tie for third and two shy of moving into third place outright.

He is one RBI shy of breaking into the Wildcats single-season leaderboard, where three players are tied at 75 RBI. Romero's mark of 1.51 RBI/game is sixth best in the country and puts him on pace for 80 RBI in the regular season, which would be t-6th most in a single season at Arizona.
- Arizona's .977 fielding percentage is tied for third in the Pac-12, a category they ranked ninth in last year. The Wildcats have committed just 43 errors this year after racking up 66 in 64 games last year.
