I wanted to post these pitching matchups so I figured I'd start the game thread.
We really have the advantage on the mound IMO. We really need 2 out of 3.
Their team era is 5.34 and their strength is their starters even though they aren't so hot.
Pitching Matchups

Saturday
Tulane: RHP J.P. France, Jr. | 4-3, 4.07 ERA, 11 APP, 11 GS, 66.0 IP, 66 H, 36 ER, 52 K, 24 BB

Sunday
Tulane: LHP Sam Bjorngjeld, Jr. | 3-3, 5.06 ERA, 18 APP, 5 GS, 42.2 IP, 44 H, 24 ER, 24 K, 29 BB
UCF: LHP Joe Sheridan, Fr. | 8-3, 3.21 ERA, 14 APP, 9 GS, 56.0 IP, 59 H, 20 ER, 51 K, 22 BB
One thing to note is that they hit a lot of HRs. They hit 49 so far this season compared to our 35. We have only surrendered 22 HRs though, so that bodes well. Plus, they also strike out, A LOT. 413 Ks to our 345Ks.
