It is 10 a.m. on Jan. 26, a frigid 30 degrees day in South Orange, but the Seton Hall baseball team has begun to gather in the Richard and Sheila Regan Fieldhouse. Practice will not start for another half-hour, but players have already begun to hit each other ground balls and lightly throw. The first full-practice of the season is getting ready to begin.

Despite the restrictions presented by the cold weather outside, the Pirates are able to make the best of their indoor practices. Under the watchful guidance of 14-year head coach Rob Sheppard, the team is all business when it comes time to put work in at practice, whether it is taking place indoors or out.
