App is going with an interesting choice for their starter. A guy that didn't make his first start until April 30. He made 14 relief appearances before that first start. He appeared in 2 games against us going 2.0 IP, giving up 1 run, 2 hits, and 2 walks. He didn't strike anyone out.
For the season, he's got a 5.05 ERA in 46.1 innings with 33 Ks and 24 walks.
This is not playing on ESPN +. Not showing up on the ESPN app under Sunbelt. I see ULM and South Alabama live.
Update: I found it crisis averted.
Is it raining at the tournament? I am getting a technical difficulties message on ESPN+ for the South Al/ULM game.
Overall teams are batting .277 vs Comatzer, but it is worse than that in conference.
1-0 with a 7.17 ERA. opponents are batting .330 vs Comatzer in Conference play. Walks to K's is a problem as well, 10 walks and 12 K's. He has hit 2 batters and has a balk, so he gives up a lot of free bases in conference. He has played in 9 games, with 2 starts in conference, those starts were vs USA and Coastal neither we great outings.
VS. USA he pitched 5 innings 4 hits, 3 runs all of them earned. He walked none, struck out 4 and hit a batter. He did not factor in the outcome a game App lost 5-4.
VS CCU he pitched 3 innings 1 hit, 1 run and it was earned. He walked one and only threw 37 pitches in that game. He did not factor in that decision either, in a game that App lost 9-6.
App has lost 8 of their last 10 games. They lost 2 of 3 to Coastal ta the end of the season, they lost a mid week game to UNC-Asheville, they were swept by USA and took 1 of 3 from Arkansas State including a game they lost 27-8 on Saturday. In those last 10 games they have games where they lost 10-2, 27-8, 13-6, 13-7, 19-3 and 9-6. They did win one of those games 18-6.
ULM and USA falling right into the "no one has pitching" narrative so far. USA up 6-5 with ULM batting in the top of the 6th. Both teams in double digit hits already. Both starters lasting just 4 innings.
To have any chance at all, we need Young to go 6 strong today. Probably 7, really. Conserve every arm we have. Btw, does anyone know anything about Jack Burk's availability this week?
