Starters Not Doing So Well, UM Regains the Lead

By Adam Aizer - February 10, 2007

I don't think either coach really wants this game in the bullpen's hands. UM relievers have been bad and UCLA's guys haven't done much better. That's why these two numbers are so concerning...

44 and 47

That would be UCLA starter Brendan Lafferty and UM starter Danny Gil's pitch count after two innings.

UM has scored another run on a Blake Tekotte sacrifice fly to take a 3-2 lead, but it's hard to imagine these starters going too deep into the game. That's especially true for Gil who will be on a pitch count watch early in the year. Remember, Jim Morris yanked Scott Maine after only 73 pitches last night, despite five scoreless innings.

Top of the third, UM 3 - UCLA 2.
