FRESNO, Calif. – The temperatures have dropped and the leaves are changing colors, both signs that fall is upon us. With the changing of the seasons comes the beginning of fall practices for the Fresno State baseball team. Fall ball practices and scrimmages officially started on Oct. 2.

"We had a great first week of practice which included our first two scrimmages," said head coach Mike Batesole. "We have some very interesting battles for playing time in full swing. We have had several top 25 recruiting classes, but our 2009 class was our best. We have added to that an excellent 2010 class and don’t forget, we have a few veterans remaining from our 2008 National Championship team. This has made our scrimmages exciting as the battle to be in the opening day lineup has begun."
