Spring break allows Salukis to focus on baseball

Members of the Saluki baseball team may not have class, but the season does not take a break this week.

"Spring break and [the weeks after the semester] are the best time of the year for us, because it's all baseball," coach Ken Henderson said. "It's more like pro ball."

The Salukis usually practice in the late afternoon, but will practice in the middle of the day during break.Henderson said the lack of classes makes it easier to get the whole team together at the same time for practice.

Players might spend a little more time taking batting practice during spring break, but Henderson does not extend practice times when class is not in session.
