    With the expectation of catcher Jackson Appel entering the draft and Max Kaufer transferring to South Carolina, the position is up for grabs. Texas A&M brought in a handful of catchers and will have a lot of good competition, with one of them hopefully taking the reins by the beginning of the season.

    On Wednesday night, former St. Mary catcher Conner “Bear” Harrison announced his commitment to the Aggies via social media. After a stellar high school career, Harrison earned a spot on the WCC All-Freshman team and completed the season with a .990 fielding percentage. 

    Under the tutelage of Michael Earley and Caleb Longley, I expect Harrison to make a leap in his home run numbers and strikeouts. Both coaches are considered two of the better hitting coaches in the nation, and Harrison has a lot of tools for them to work with.

    Limited students will be admitted to Notre Dame’s last two home games

    As we approach a year since COVID-19 completely upended our lives, there finally appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel.

    As we approach a year since COVID-19 completely upended our lives, there finally appears to be a light at the end of the tunnel. With the vaccine supply slowly increasing, cases, hospitalizations and deaths steadily have been decreasing. That means we’re getting more of the life we once knew a little at a time. To that end, Notre Dame made this announcement Tuesday night:

    Yep, they’re actually opening up Purcell Pavilion to a few lucky students for the Irish’s final two home games. Those will be played Wednesday evening against NC State and Saturday afternoon against Florida State. That will be a nice luxury for an Irish team that will finish below .500 for the second time in three years barring a deep ACC Tournament run. Maybe this will motivate Notre Dame to finish strong.

    Details about tickets and policies for these games can be found here. Students at Notre Dame, St. Mary and Holy Cross will be eligible to attend. Here’s hoping they can give Purcell Pavilion something of the loud atmosphere it deserves.
