Arizona to start home season without Osburn

There will be one familiar face missing today when the UA baseball team opens their 2001 home season against Brigham Young at Sancet Field.

The Wildcats' three-game series will mark the first time that UA has played at Sancet Field without infielder Kelsey Osburn. Osburn died last summer after being struck in the head by a batted ball prior to a summer league baseball game after his sophomore year.

Osburn's jersey will become just the fourth number to be retired in Wildcat history, Saturday, when the team will honor the infielder's memory in a pregame ceremony. "
