Tonight will be interesting. A&M will almost surely turn to Nathan Dettmer who was their Friday night starter much of the year but was demoted after a rough May and hasn’t pitched in this regional yet. He may not be ace caliber at the moment but he appears to be a solid option under the circumstances.
For Stanford, it’s going to be a piecemeal, all hands on deck approach. My guess is Lopez will get some innings and maybe the start as he hasn’t pitched in the first four games. After that, Matt Scott should be good for a couple innings, Bruno should be good for an inning or two late and the wild card is Quinn and whether he has anything left in the tank after throwing seven on Friday.
I’d definitely give the edge to A&M with Dettmer at this point but my post yesterday counting this team out was premature. Hopefully they finish the job and prove me wrong yet again.
