SUNDAY LIVE ON ESPNU/ESPN3: FAMU Rattlers prepare for Bethune-Cookman 'Cats, ESPN TV exposure

DAYTONA BEACH, Florida -- Just having to play Bethune-Cookman University in a baseball series that could solidify FAMU’s hold on first place in the MEAC’s South Division is enough for coach Jamey Shouppe and the Rattlers to worry about.

On top of that, they have the added oddity of playing the final game of that series on television Sunday – exposure that the Rattlers haven’t had in about 15 years.

But Shouppe insisted that neither the rivalry with the Wildcats nor the fact that a national television audience will watch the last game is going to affect their approach.

“We are going to go in and play as good as we can,” said Shouppe, who has the Rattlers holding first place in the league for the first time since 1997. “We are going to try to win three baseball games.”
