DBU -140 vs. Washington
3 p.m. ET · ESPN+
DBU brought out the big guns Saturday as they throttled the host Oklahoma State Cowboys 18-4. They’ve earned a shot to advance to next weekend with a win today, and they’ll have a great chance to do so against the Washington Huskies.
Just like the matchup above, this is also a rematch of Friday’s opener, where the Huskies were able to outslug DBU on their way to victory. However, we should see the opposite result this afternoon, as the Patriots have the edge on the mound.
DBU is projected to turn to their No. 2 starter Braxton Bragg. Bragg has had a very solid junior campaign as he enters with a 4.48 ERA, but his SIERA is 3.12, and he has only walked 17 batters in 78 innings of work.
As for the Huskies, their pitching is in question after they blew a 7-run first-inning lead in their loss to Oral Roberts Saturday night. They are projected to give the ball to their No. 3 starter Jared Engman.
Engman has a tall task in front of them, as we’ve seen this Patriots lineup mash, and being in Stillwater only helps the bats. However, Engman is also due to get hit around, as his FIP is 7.63, which is nearly two full runs higher than his season ERA.
Back the Patriots to move on to the regional final.
