Diamond Cavs get a workout
[Feb. 8, 2010] With or without snowflakes, Virginia baseball coach Brian O’Connor reminded his players of one constant: Omaha remains 1,186 miles away.

And for that reason, the Cavaliers practiced Saturday as though the storm that hammered Central Virginia did not exist.

Unfortunately for O’Connor, that practice was held indoors, something that has become a routine of late. It remains unknown if Virginia will be able to practice without hindrance outdoors before the season opener at East Carolina on Feb. 18.

“We are not the only team in the country that cannot be outside right now,” O’Connor said. “We understand that, but we are fortunate that the stadium renovation offered us the opportunity to get our work done indoors.”
