No one goes undefeated in baseball, no matter the level. Losses are almost built into the budget, so to speak, especially when it comes to midweek games against nonconference opponents.
Still, losing 19-3 to Grand Canyon on Tuesday night, in its first game at Hi Corbett Field and right after playing so well on the first weekend, had to have been humbling for Arizona. It was the team’s first loss in a home opener since 2003 and the most runs allowed at home since March 15, 2019.
But the good thing about this sport is, there’s not much time to dwell on such results, even ones that bad.
