Stanford is in great position to sweep, because Ninemire really has no good options to start tomorrow....
D, I'm struggling to make sense of what you posted above.
Cal's pitching stats prior to Sunday's game:
K. Dung 8-4, 74.1 ip, 2.17 era
Z. Conley 6-6, 69.1 ip, 3.84 era
A. Perez 5-0, 40.1 ip, 1.39 era
Where is Dung (whose '19 stats more closely resemble that of an "ace" than Conley's) in all this? Is there possibly an injury situation of which you are unaware that effectually forced Ninemire to go to Conley when Perez proved ineffective?
Re: Ninemire's starting options tomorrow, again, first and foremost, what's the story on Dung? Secondly, should a pitcher who, in spite of getting hammered in Sunday's game, nonetheless still sports a 2.26 era (only slightly higher than Dwyer's following her early exit Sunday) necessarily be written off as a "no good option" for game 3? Though very lucky to avoid getting tagged with the loss Sunday, she remains, after all, undefeated.
