ND rallied to win Game 1, 5-4, but was blown out in Game 2, 14-1. ND is now 21-23, 9-14. The finale will be played tomorrow at 10:35 am ET, weather permitting. Rain is possible tomorrow morning and thunderstorms later on, scuttling plans for a 4:05 pm ET start tomorrow and a Sunday finale.


ND has lost by 6+ runs in 20% of their games

9 of 44, and 9 of their 23 total losses. The pitching is lacking just a bit. Bass and Bielak are both 2-6, though in fairness to Bielak he's up against the other school's #1 most times. Hearne is a pedestrian 3-2. Your weekend starters being a combined 7-14 is not a good sign.

Has Aoki ever considered recruiting pitching depth?


I would replace Bielak with Solomon, but likely too late...

...in the season to worry about it.

Recruiting depth to a school where you're still on the hook for 35k a year with a half scholarship is tough
