Texas Southern @ Louisiana (Game 1)

[GoneGolfin]

Not surprised it was a close game. Their starter had an 0.98 ERA coming into the game.

Everyone has at least one good pitcher.

... and Texas Southern has more than one. LSU managed only four hits in their 4-1 home win over TSU. And that was against pitchers that the Cajuns have yet to see (Kanorik, Pearson, Martinez).

Also, Austin threw 128 pitches last week in the complete game. Robe talked about wanting to follow next week with a shorter outing (he was probably hoping for something like 80 pitches). No need to throw that many pitches early in the season ... save some pitch count for the stretch run.

And Austin did not pitch this past fall, so you don't want him throwing that many pitches on back-to-back Fridays this early in the season.
