Duckman60 No. 1 Share Posted June 4 Number 1- Win the first game, this may seem obvious but they have one STUD pitcher, Prager. He has a 2.53 ERA, 1.03 WHIP, 12 Ks per 9 innings and only gives up 1 homer per game. If we can find a way to win the first game their number 2 & 3 starters are just barely average, 5.43 & 6.70 ERAs. Number 2-If we lose the first game our 2 & 3 pitchers are better then theirs which increases our chances to win both games. In the regionals they actually went "pitching by committee" in their 2nd & 3rd games. They do have a very good bullpen, 3 guys who are really good. So even if we do not win the first game we would still have a great chance of winning the series. Now for hitting, they are really scary. They have 3 players that hit over 20 homer (22, 27 & 28) and all 3 of them batted over .300! Their team batting average was .299 which is really impressive since we all know they played in the best conference in the country! Well they did get 5 teams into the super regionals. Go Ducks! 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charles Fischer Administrator No. 2 Share Posted June 4 To counter their incredible hitting--we must have the same kind of superb pitching we had last weekend. It is the only way we can stay with them, IMHO. Grayson Grinsell 1 Mr. FishDuck Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
spartan2785 No. 3 Share Posted June 4 I doubt we will be able to win any shootouts, we'll have to win some pitcher's duels. We're not a bad hitting team, but we aren't exactly the most offensive. Going to need to have well executed small ball and be better in clutch situations compared to A&M. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
