PRINCETON — Tim Taylor said his Princeton Tigers have looked like a “bunch of ballplayers” during the first three weeks of practice indoors, hitting the batting cages downtown after school each day before retreating to the confines of Prouty Gym for infield and defensive work.

“As to how they look on the field, boy, that’s anybody’s guess right now. As soon as we get to the field, I’ll let you know how that one looks,” Taylor said.

For now, that is anybody’s guess as the area mounds are frozen, and fields remain wet as Mother Nature takes her time to turn the fields over for spring baseball. The Tigers are scheduled to play at Ottawa Monday and at Earlville Tuesday.
