EUGENE -- The indoor batting cages at Jane Sanders Stadium sit just beyond the foul line in left field, on the bottom floor of a 12,000-square-foot facility the Oregon Ducks call the Team Building.
For softball junkies, the two-year old cages are a dream.
Cameras record everything, and with big-screen monitors mounted on the walls, players can analyze their swing as soon as it's over. Perhaps its best feature, however, is its accessibility. A swipe of a keycard and it's open, anytime.
Ducks junior Jenna Lilley spent hours there this spring before the rest of her teammates arrived for practice, mostly by herself, and other times with assistant Chelsea Spencer, trying to answer the same question: What's going on?
