Neither saw it coming “Both of us are a little disappointed about what has happened,”says Pulins. “I still believe we have a very goodballclub, but we've never had everybodygoing at the sametime. We're so close, yet so far away. I'm sure Tim feels the same way abouthis club.” What happened? ‘The Utes got off to a good enough start, winning seven of their first 10 games.

So many home runs, so few baserunners. Injuries have played a role in Utah's struggles. The Utes lost junior center fielder Sam Swensonto back surgery just 11 games into the schedule, robbing them ofa potent bat and a teamleader But Esmay thinks the real culprit has been a lack of practice.
