THE EAST TENNESSEE STATE UNIVERSITY BASEBALL TEAM MAY NOT HAVE A PLACE TO PLAY FOR THE START OF THE BASEBALL SEASON. WORK IS CONTINUING ON THE NEW BASEBALL FIELD AT ETSU AND MAY NOT BE COMPLETED IN TIME FOR THE TEAMS FIRST WEEKEND SERIES. ACCORDING TO ATHLETIC DIRECTOR DAVE MULLINS, HOPES ARE HIGH THE FIELD WILL BE COMPLETED AND READY FOR GAMES BY FEBRUARY 17TH. WEATHER AND ROCK BLASING HAVE CAUSED SOME DELAYS IN THE CONSTRUCTION. IF NECESSARY, THE SCHOOL WILL USE DOBYNS-BENNETT HIGH SCHOOL'S FIELD IN KINGSPORT FOR GAMES IN THE MEANTIME.
