The word coming out of the Coastal Carolina baseball program today is that junior catcher Tucker Frawley's knee injury does not look as bad as coach Gary Gilmore initially feared Sunday night.
As of now no MRI is scheduled, and the Chanticleers will instead take a day-to-day approach with Frawley, who was hurt after a collision with a baserunner on a throw to the plate as Indiana scored the go-ahead run in the top of the 16th inning Sunday.
After playing in the first three games of the season (including two starts), he sat out the second half of the Chants' mixed double-header Sunday against Virginia Tech as freshman John Fidanza made his second straight start. With Fidanza the only other healthy catcher on the roster, the extended loss of Frawley would have been a big blow to the team.
But it looks like he has a chance to return sooner than expected. When that will be is still to be determined, though.
