Also in the poem “Casey at the bat” Casey had faith that he would win

studying to be a biologist in Albany, New York. During her first semester, she goes on a field trip to the local caverns. There her class watches hibernating bats. While they are visiting these caverns, they learn that this is the sight where a disease called White-Nose Syndrome (WNS) was first documented.
