CHEYENNE, Wyo. (AP) ? A proposed $250,000 study on the feasibility of reviving the University of Wyoming's long-dead baseball and softball programs struck out this week in the state Legislature.

Proposed by state Republican Sen. Ray Peterson, of Cowley, the study would have looked into building an indoor field to accommodate games.

But the idea got a lukewarm reaction at best from lawmakers and university athletic officials.

The Casper Star-Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/A4TR41 ) that UW's baseball program was canceled in 1996. The softball program was canceled several years before.

Peterson said a recent study showed 69 Wyoming students were playing college baseball for out-of-state schools.

This week, both the House of Representatives and the Senate voted to remove the study proposal from their proposed budget bills.
