Ryan Carroll also had a good 2-inning outing, allowing no runs on 3 hits, while striking out 2. True freshman shortstop Steve Gendron made an outstanding play going to his right, fielding the ball, jumping up and throwing the ball, all in one smooth motion. His throw, although strong enough to throw the runner out, was up the line a little bit. Walkon junior college transfer centerfielder Casey Long continues to impress with his bat. The team normally scrimmages beginning at 4 p.m. each afternoon.
All practices are open to the public.
The question mark beside Josh West's classification is due to the fact that MSU has appealed his status due to last year's injury. As of now, the NCAA has not determined anything. BTW, Josh hit the ball very well in batting practice yesterday. He didn't hit any homeruns during practice, he hit just about every ball very solid. After giving up a 2-run homerun to Josh West, he came right back and got the next two hitters to get out of the inning without any further damage.
