TUCSON, Ariz. — The Arizona Wildcats (2-1), fresh off a ranked series win to open the season, wrap up their homestand with a midweek matchup against the Utah Tech Trailblazers (1-3) on Tuesday afternoon at Hi Corbett Field. First pitch is slated for 2:00 p.m. MST.
Following the game, the entire team will host an autograph session for all fans in attendance, a rescheduled event that was originally planned to take place at their Meet the Team event earlier this month.
Behind timely offense and dominant pitching, the Wildcats won two-of-three games against then No. 23-ranked Northeastern over the weekend. Arizona looks to close out their season-opening homestand strong on Tuesday before hitting the road for three consecutive weeks away from the friendly confines of Hi Corbett Field.
Tuesday's game will also serve as the first "2 for Tuesday" of the season — fans in attendance will be able to purchase two hot dogs for the price of one. Arizona Baseball's entire 2024 promotional schedule can be found
