Arizona baseball will begin its 2015-16 season with fierce competition when the Wildcats head to Houston, Texas to take on powerhouse Rice University for a three game series beginning Friday.
“It’s a great opportunity,” Arizona head baseball coach Jay Johnson said. “You’re talking about a program that’s won twenty consecutive conference championships (and) been to the NCAA tournament 21 years in a row. That’s probably unprecedented.”
One of the big questions going into the series was who would start the opening game of the season. Johnson has called upon left-hander JC Cloney, a fourth year junior transfer student from the College of the Canyons in Santa Clarita, California.
