Baseball. It has arrived.
The Arizona Wildcats begin the 2017 season on Friday night when hosting the first of a four-game series against the Eastern Kentucky Colonels at 6 PM MT.
Despite all the new faces on the 2017 squad, a familiar one will get the season started on the mound when LHP JC Cloney takes the ball.
Cloney pitched in 18 games last year — all starts — and posted a team-best 2.45 ERA in 110 1⁄3 innings. However, he needed a little help from Arizona’s grad programs to be able to play baseball again this year.
