Collegian: First weekend outdoors creates minor problems

There is one area Penn State coach Robbie Wine would like to see improved going into the upcoming week’s nine-game Texas road trip.

Luckily for Wine, it’s one of the most basic aspects of the game his team had the most trouble with — fielding routine fly balls.

For the average fan, it would seem like an easy fix. But for the Penn State baseball coach, there’;s not much that can be done.

While opposing teams in other regions of the country are practicing outdoors in game-like conditions, the Nittany Lions are confined to Holuba Hall. The players were unable to prepare for the tricks Mother Nature can throw at them on the road, and miscommunication between them was somewhat of a concern for Wine this past weekend.
