Of the 34 players on last season's roster, only five will return.

There's no more time left. If somebody gets hurt, we're going to have a problem. If my second baseman's hitting .240, guess what? You're playing still.'' Scheduling also has posed problems. The team's original 1998 list of 56 games, which took several months to arrange, is down to 36. Batesole is worried that his team may have to play too many Division II games to fill up the rest of its season, but the schedule is still impressive. Next spring, the Matadors will face Arizona, Arizona State, Kansas State, UCLA UCLA University of California at Los Angeles UCLA University Center for Learning Assistance (Illinois State University) UCLA University of Carrollton, TX and Lower Addison, TX and Pepperdine. ``We're not going to run and hide from anybody,'' Batesole said. ``That's not the way we think. We're going to make (the season) as difficult as we can. These kids coming in deserve that chance to play against the best. That's why you come and play Division I baseball.'' Batesole said he's counting on three returners to lead his group. Senior Chris MacMillan is the most promising, batting .318 last season. Sophomores Jeremy Sickles (.310) and Adrian Mendoza (.274) also have shown a lot of promise. |
