Beware the Ides of March--said some Roman guy in a Toga to Caesar before he was assassinated... (I'm not an English major guys...)
This Ides of March, we face the College of Charleston Cougars. As for the college itself, if you took SMU, TCU, or Pepperdine, shrunk them in 1/4, made their female % even higher, and plopped them into converted 200 year old mansions and other buildings on the peninsula in Charleston--that would be College of Charleston. A small private liberal arts school for well-heeled and $$$$ Southern young ladies. I also understand that, in recent years, they have been attracting $$$$ Yanks who perhaps didn't get into an Ivy League school and wanted to try college at a fun school down South, surrounding by other wealthy kids.
When it comes to baseball...
While they are not Arkansas or the old-time USC teams, they only lost to Clemson 2-1 (Clemson swept the Gamecocks...), so you can't laugh them off or take them lightly. There's also something to like about college baseball, in that a College of Charleston can take on a Texas, Clemson, Miss. St, etc., with something more than a pipe dream chance of winning. NJ. Inst Tech made the playoffs last year after all -- you won't see that in football or basketball. More on that 2-1 pitchers duel vs. Clemson here: Clemson Edges Cougars, 2-1, in Pitcher's Duel - College of Charleston Athletics -- Pooser was C of C's pitcher in that pitcher's duel and held Clemson to 2 runs in 5 innings of work. More on Pooser below. (I bet Pooser will start against us)
So who will take them mound for the Chas-Town Cougars?
In their last mid-week series (2 games against U. Penn), they pitched the following:
Pooser..................4.2 innings (starter)
Brooks.................3.0 innings (starter)
Smith...................3.0 innings (frequently used closer and middle/late reliever)
Parris....................2.1 innings (frequently used middle reliever)
Williams................1.2 innings
Miller.....................1 inning
Bice.....................0.1 inning
Schultz................0.2 innings (closer)
In their last Tuesday game, Pooser was the starter and Smith came in for 3 innings of middle relief. Schultz appears to the the closer, and Parris is also used a lot in middle relief.
The following pitchers pitched this past weekend (so we won't see the starters, but we may see some of these relievers):
Campbell.............6 innings
Good....................5.1 innings
Brooks.................3.2 innings
Parris...................2.2 innings
Bice.....................2 innings
Privette...............2 innings
Vaks...................1.1 innings
Schultz................1 inning
Parris...................1 inning
Smith...................0.1 innings
Mathis..................0 innings
So, I think it's likely we may see some of Pooser, Smith, Parris, Schultz, and/or maybe Brooks.
