Wednesday, Feb. 18, 2009 EDITOR ASHLEY NONAKA EO [email protected] ASSOCIATE RUSSELL TOLENTINO 12 SPORTSGAME OF LIFE Catricala poised for a big year

Drake Zintgraff Senior Reporter

The 2009 baseball season is clos- ing in and the University of Hawai‘i Rainbow baseball team will be looking to have a very strong season with sev- eral key members of last year’s team returning. One of those key mem- bers is junior third-basemen Vinnie Catricala who, after two productive years as an underclassmen, is ready to break out in his first year as an upperclassmen. Catricala, who was drafted by the Cleveland Indians out of high school, didn’t take a pre-signing recruiting trip to Hawai‘i; instead Catricala leaned on the advice of a close friend. “My dad’s best friend’s son pitched here. He was a senior at the time and I knew that Hawai‘i was recruiting me, so I asked him what it was like. He said that I would fit right in here, it’s a lot like Sacramento, the people are real nice and coach Trap is a real nice guy. So I said I’m in, he sold me right there and then,” Catricala said about his choice to come to UH. While Catricala didn’t know exactly what he was getting into when he arrived, he quickly made a name for himself on the field.

The Bottom Line

The first formal baseball league outside of the United States and Canada was founded in 1878 in Cuba. A fungo bat is a specially designed bat used by baseball and softball coaches for practice purposes. The bat is designed to hit not thrown or pitched balls, but rather balls tossed up in the air.
