The Bison will play their last regular season game tonight, so they might have more flexibility with their pitching options.
Have no idea how coach DiC will play it with our pitchers as we really only have four reliable arms (McGowan, Barlok, Cronin and Dvorak) and we will need them this coming weekend. For sure, Barlok will not be available tonight after those 140 pitches saturday and sunday
HC is now last in the league with a .233 team batting average. Advantage Bucknell for a variety of reasons, but it's baseball where anything can happen.

assuming we're not using our top 4 pitchers, I dare say the era of the remaining (available) pitchers on our staff is very high.

As I said we have 4 pitchers and that's it - this is embarrassing - so many walks and hbp's - 5-3 bison and they're still batting in the 3rd, we're now bringing in our 3rd pitcher of the game

Coach is eager to get a man on base so he can sacrifice......

Crusaders win--load bases in bottom of ninth and then bloop single toRF scores runner
walk off single by freshman Cam Meyer--a "line drive in the box score" as the saying goes

HC wins!!!!! Loaded bases with 1 out and a single down the right field line, barely fair, and HC wins. Cam Meyer hit the single! HC 8-7.

Maybe the freshman Johnson who closed so effectively can be another quality reliever going into the last regular season weekend and the playoffs

True, Kyle Johnson and also Luke Dawson (4 ip, 2 runs) did a great job. They both had era's around 10. coming into this game and held down bucknell scoreless in the final five innings of the game. The way this game started, that was not likely. A nice win indeed !.
We used 4 pitchers in the game, all freshmen
If we take 3 of 4 this weekend, that should give us the 3 seed in the tourney (we'd be 14-11 vs. Bucknell at 13-11-1)

with backup pitchers being used by both coaches - some crazy stats from last night:
game duration: 3 hrs 46 mins
total walks: 15 (9 by HC pitchers)
hit batsmen: 7 (5 by Bison pitchers)
total errors: 6 (nothing to do with the pitchers)
