Owls Announce Starting Pitchers for Weekend Series Against ECU Pirates

By Mark Anderson

The Rice Owls have announced the starting pitchers for both teams for the weekend series against the East Carolina Pirates.

FRIDAY: (7 pm start) Eddie Degerman (5-0, 0.86 ERA) vs. T.J. Hose (3-1, 2.48 ERA)
SATURDAY: (2 pm start) Craig Crow (2-1, 2.62 ERA) vs. Justin Sassser (4-2, 1.96 ERA)
SUNDAY: (noon start) Joe Savery (3-1, 2.01 ERA) vs. Brody Taylor (3-0, 2.60 ERA)

Other notes. . . . Last night I posted that the pitching staff for the ECU Pirates had the top ERA in C-USA at 3.01--not so. The Owls actually have a better ERA team-wise at 2.95. . . .The oppoenent's team batting average against the Owls is .233, and to date, the Owls have outscored their opponents by a run total of 180-91. . . The Owls as a team are batting .300, while ECU as a team is batting .284. . . . While the Pirates have 5 players in double digits for RBIs, the Owls regular starting nine ALL have double digit RBI numbers, led by the top three, Josh Rodriguez (25), Chad Lembeck (21) and Aaron Luna (20), closely followed by Joe Savery (19 RBIs). . . . don't look for many pictures from tonight's game with the weather forecast to be in the 30's with a north wind. . . There will be plenty of them tomorrow though.
