"We do everything possible to make the media comfortable, especially making sure the media gets where they need to be," said Scruggs. "We cover box scores, play-by-play copies for the media, quotes during the press conference, and even run the scoreboard up in the press box. We also call other media outlets and give them updated scores whenever they need them."

Though there are lots of students that volunteer their time and efforts to making this regional, as well as Arkansas baseball games a success, it's the face of Scruggs that the media sees the most. Besides the action on the field, if anything is going on, Scruggs is likely to be right in the middle of it.

Admittedly, there was another reason we chose Scruggs, and it involved her role in a meeting with umpires and coaches during a regular season game with LSU. Normally, it's just the coaches and umpires, but not in this case.

"I was waiting for the coaches' meeting to end, when the umpire called me over," said Scruggs. "He waved me in, so then I got to talk to the umpires, and the coaches even asked me some questions as well."

Apparently, it was the case for friendly jousting as well.

"I kinda get teased about it," Scruggs said. "A photographer took a picture of it for the university. They all say it's the first time anyone's spent five minutes in there during a coaches' meeting."

I believe it. I've never seen anyone besides umpires and coaches in there. She's the first I've seen. Then again, how cool is that? Scruggs has done something that just about any sports fanatic would dream of doing.

Despite this being a NCAA event, and not an Arkansas event, the work has mostly remained the same for Scruggs and her fellow co-workers.

"With TV here, things are pretty much the same, just in a bigger scope," said Scruggs. "With no television crew here, there are less students here, so we mostly stick to scoreboard duties and stats and play-by-play."

Sometimes, though, the job can rattle the nerves a little. For example, when you're standing on the field, wearing headphones and a mic, and lightning is going on. That was the case for Scruggs during the Arkansas-Albany game, as the umpires finally waited 10 minutes after the first strike was visible to call the game off.

"I was a little nervous," Scruggs said, laughing. "I texted my mom on the cell, saying I was a bit nervous."

Yet, neither rain, not lightning, nor constant streams of fans nor media, have stopped Scruggs from being just about everywhere during this regional. She's been the key face behind the scenes, and we in the media are grateful for the contributions she and other members of the UA staff have given.
