There are 1,475 miles that separate Arizona’s Hi Corbett Field from Dudy Noble Field, where the Wildcats will take on Mississippi State in the Starkville Super Regional this weekend.
Yet despite the distance, there is plenty of familiarity between the two schools that are meeting for the third time in as many years.
The Bulldogs traveled to Tucson in 2014 and left with a 1-2 record against Arizona. The Wildcats made a return trip to Starkville last season and were swept by MSU in a two-game series, 4-2 and 6-2.
The two programs will rekindle things on the diamond at 5 p.
