Tulane will throw freshman Ross Massey against Utah lefty Josh Lapiana in the 1 p.m. game. Lapiana has a 4.18 ERA and is 4-5, giving up 114 hits in 92.2 innings but only three home runs.
Boston College will be waiting at 5 p.m. with starter Jacob Stevens, who is 3-3 with a sterling 2.04 ERA, allowing 50 hits in 66.1 innings. He has given up two home runs. He also has not made it through the fifth inning in his last four starts, but BC's bullpen is rested and ready to go. Tulane presumably would pitch J.P. France unless he is needed in the first game, which is unlikely because the path to a regional championship needs to involve him as a starter before a Charley Wholestaff approach on Monday.
