Utah Baseball Honors History in Final Series at Smith’s Ballpark Against TCU
Salt Lake City, UT – The University of Utah baseball team is gearing up for a significant showdown against TCU this weekend, marking their last series at Smith’s Ballpark from May 15 to 17. With an overall record of 20-27 and 7-20 in the Big 12, the Utes aim to hold on to their hopes of qualifying for the Phillips 66 Big 12 Baseball Championship.
This historical series sees the Utes trying to finish strong after a recent midweek loss to BYU. However, they are buoyed by a successful road series win against a ranked Arizona team last weekend. Key players include Core Jackson, who excelled with a .400 batting average and significant contributions on the field, while pitcher Colter McAnelly approaches a milestone with 90 strikeouts this season, ranking fourth in Utah history.
Fans can enjoy free parking on game days at Smith’s Ballpark, and University of Utah students can attend the games at no cost. This weekend’s events feature "Throwback Thursday," with retro-themed activities, and a Senior Day celebration on Saturday recognizing eight seniors, including Mateus Conaway and Drake Digiorno.
As the Utes transition from Smith’s Ballpark, a venue they’ve called home since 1996, they remember its storied past—dating back to the original Community Park in 1928. The weekend will culminate in a special postgame walk on the warning track for fans, reminiscing about nearly a century of baseball history.
The excitement continues to build as the team invites fans to partake in the nostalgia while pushing for a vital victory against longtime rivals TCU. For those unable to attend, live stats and streaming will be available via ESPN+.
