(LaPorte, IN) - Talk about a fish out of water.

The high school baseball season cancelled due to coronavirus

might be harder to cope with in LaPorte billed as the

“Baseball Capital of Indiana.”

Head coach Scott Upp says it’s definitely an adjustment not being

with his players at hallowed Schreiber Field, the home of the Slicers.

Upp also says he had to break the news to his players not in person due

to social distancing which hasn’t made things any easier especially for

his seniors hoping for a last hurrah in a Slicers uniform.

Upp played high school baseball in La Porte then in college and

started coaching right away so it’s his first season without baseball.
