Overall SC is much like us, I listened to the post game presser after their loss to Presbyterian and Holbrook said the same things CDS says.
Most recently they lost to Furman 2-1...their 3-7 hitters went 0-17...sound familiar?
They have not won a Friday game since March 13th, against UK and they've lost Will Crow, the Friday guy, to tommy johns...
Pitchers have not been announced but Marks and Cox are definite starters with Owenby still a question for Sunday. The only certain thing I can say about SC is that Jake Wyncoop will get the start, probably on Saturday. He has a 3.04 era and opposing teams bat .276 versus Wyncoop. In 68 innings he's struck out 59 with only 11 walks. Impressive! Comparing him to Marks looks like this...63 IP, 76 K's, 19 BB's.
The bigger difference is the hits allowed...Wyncoop has given up 74 compares to Marks' 46...so we can hit the guy but can we plate enough runs?
Others we will likely see:
Vince Fiori, team high 20 appearances, team best ERA at 2.30, usually the closer but can come in early if necessary.
Taylor Widner, leads the team with 9 saves.
Brandon Murray, (4-0), solid reliever with an ERA of 3.38.
As a staff, they sport a 3.38 team ERA and have seven guys under 4.00...we have four. So the loss of Crow hurts, overall their quality depth is still a bit better than ours.
At the plate they are led by Kyle Martin, they call him KMart, he's UK's Stewie...351 BA and leads the team in most offensive categories, 40 RBI, 8 HR's.
Elliot Caldwell, .348 BA, leads team in OB% and steals 10/12.
Max Schrock, .305, he has good power... 7 2B, 2 3B, 4 HR
As a team they bat .257...timely hitting and scoring runs as been an issue at times. Much like our Vols.
They have had their fair share of trouble in the field with 50 errors in 42 games. Their SS Jordan Gore has a team high 12...their fld% is .969...ours .960.
This scout is much shorter than originally intended due to some technical issues. Here I was going to discuss the math and what losing this series would do to our chances.
Last chance for us to own a series with an east division team.
TAMU is next.
I don't like to use must win too early...if we aren't there we are very close. Saturday will be the best crowd of the year if the weather cooperates.
It is winnable and both teams should want it bad.
GBO!!!
