1 hour ago1 hr Administrator No. The game was moved up due to weather concerns, as is Friday's game to 2:00 PM. We have some really interesting pitching changes for both teams, as Youngstown State has two really-good pitchers, but they are being played on Friday and Saturday of this four game series. The first surprise is how they are playing a senior RHP in Aiden English, who had a 13.79 ERA in 15 innings last year.That was not a typo. Now we all know that pitchers can improve as we've seen with Our Beloved Ducks, but it appears the Penguin strategy, (yes, that is their mascot) is to put their weakest pitchers on the first and fourth games. The 'GUINS have three .300+ hitters, and another who hit .300 last weekend at Auburn.The stunner on our side? Oregon is NOT starting Will Sanford like last week, but Toby Twist instead! Apparently Ryan Featherston is back to relief duty again, but not due to his performance last week, as he was nails for us. I believe Coach Waz is trying to get Twist back into things, but he did not have a shining relief role last week. So we are pitting weak pitcher vs. weak pitcher for the Thursday game? Should be fun to watch...Toby Twist Mr. FishDuck
