Furman players & coaches get clipped for charity
Furman's baseball program holds its annual fundraiser to battle childhood cancers in conjunction with Tuesday's game against South Carolina at Fluor Field.  Players and coaches will have their heads shaved to support the Vs Cancer Foundation. Furman led the nation last season. The Paladins have already topped this year's goal of $10,000 by more than $4,000.
