\u00e2\u20ac\u0153That injury was weird,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said the junior outfielder when referring to the fact that his skin never discolored.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153It wasn\u00e2\u20ac\u2122t until the beginning of fall sessions that my leg actually loosened up.\u00e2\u20ac\u009d<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153Ryan is a great defensive player,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Stafford.\u00c2\u00a0 \u00e2\u20ac\u0153He\u00e2\u20ac\u2122s got a great arm.<\/p>\n

Catanzarite broke his leg during the fall season and took a medical red shirt for the campaign.<\/p>\n
\u00e2\u20ac\u0153He would have been on our roster had it not been for the injury,\u00e2\u20ac\u009d said Stafford.<\/p>\n
