I was on a flight and splurged on wifi to watch. What a ridiculous game for lack of a better term. While the Williams situation certainly has me questioning how deep Stanford could go in Omaha, yesterday was not a total disaster for the Card. Pitching was spared for the most part, UConn had to use their closer (and watch a lot of balls leave the yard) and Brock Jones is back! UConn has their ace ready to go after 150+ pitches last weekend. He, like Williams, had lots of deep 100+ pitch outings this year. Scoring early and often will be necessary. Once again Stanford has an interesting decision as to when to us Matthews. Hopefully Dixon (if he's the starter today) can have a quality outing and give the bats a chance to create some separation.
