PITCHING MATCHUP
RHP Will McCausland (1-0, 2.45 ERA) vs. RHP McCarty English (0-0, 40.50 ERA)
McCausland, a St. Joseph's transfer, has one appearance on the season. He allowed one run in 3.2 innings against then-No. 15 Clemson in Arlington. The right-hander struck out eight and gave up one hit (a double) and one walk, throwing 65 pitches.
English's only appearance this season is a 19-pitch effort against Lafayette. He allowed two hits, a walk and three runs in 0.2 innings. Both outs were by strikeout. It's like a bullpen game for the Golden Eagles. English is healthy after fracturing his elbow last season.
