Baseball practice starts


The Catamount baseball team opened practice for the 2013 season at Hennon Stadium on Saturday afternoon with their first official team practice of the preseason.

"I have been very impressed with our team's level of commitment through the off-season, and their work ethic through individuals and today's first team practice," said head coach Bobby Moranda. "Practice went smoothly today as our returning players know our return and know what we're looking for out of our sessions."

The first day of practice was postponed by a day, due to winter weather in the WNC mountains. The Bat Cats spent Saturday's practice time reviewing team defensive principles and situations, bunt defense and pitcher fielding practice. They also had their first opportunity at batting practice on the field in this preseason. 

Western Carolina opens the 2013 season by hosting four home games. The Washington State Cougars are first up, for a three-game series starting on Friday, Feb. 15,  then the following Tuesday (Feb. 19), Wake Forest comes to Cullowhee for a for the home portion of the home-and-home schedule with WF.
