Pitching tonight for VU and Auburn
I’ve gotten some intel from a good friend and reliable source that Sam Hliboki will start tonight against Auburn
Sam, our right handed senior, is 3-3 with a 5.40 ERA with 9 walks and 42 K’s. Sam’s a talent, so I trust him for three innings or so. Patrick Reilly has been very effective coming out of the ‘pen, so he’ll be available. Don’t believe Holton is available. Corbs trying to rest him for the Regional. Maybe saving Hunter Owen for the next game. After Reilly, you’ve got Greyson Carter, David Horn, Thomas Schultz, of course, Ryan Ginther, Bryce Cunningham and Maldo to finish it off in the ninth.
For Auburn, I’m looking at Chase Allsup on the mound. The sophomore right hander is 1-1 with a 5.95 ERA with 28 walks and 40 K’s, He’s given up 6 homers. That’s a guesstimate. Auburn can really hit the ball, but their pitching is a little suspect, so hoping we can take advantage of that.
