Arizona, Grand Canyon Finish Season Series on Tuesday

| By:
TUCSON, Ariz. — The No. 21 Arizona Wildcats (26-16) return to the friendly confines of Hi Corbett Field to host the Grand Canyon Antelopes (25-18) this Tuesday night.

The Wildcats look to return to the win column against the Antelopes after dropping their most recent meeting in Phoenix earlier this month. The two programs have split the first two games in the season series thus far, with home teams winning both of the first two games.

Arizona, the owners of the nation's fifth best team ERA, sits tied atop the Pac-12 standings as they take a break to face nonconference GCU.

Tuesday's game will also be the second of two Latin Night promotions this year; join us at the ballpark and enjoy the atmosphere as your favorite players step up to the plate with an entirely Spanish soundtrack! Tickets are still available and can be purchased here.
