This unpredictable weather has messed up all of UMSL's sports, but baseball has been one of the hardest hit. Coach Jim Dix commented that the team couldn't get much done because "we couldn't get any field time in which to practice." " We can't work out on any of the harder skills because we can't get together and have a normal practice. Playing inside wouldn't have helped us either because once a team starts practicing outside, it interrupts their practice routine. Practicing indoors was fine at the beginning of the season, but now it won't do us any good at all," Dix said. So instead of holding regUlar prac tices last week, Dix had to w.)rk on the things that couldn't be affected by the weather. "It was up to the guys to make sure that they ran and stretched and stayed in shape as well as they could," he said. . . .
