Niagara did not pitch their top starter or the best bullpen arm in the 19-7 loss to the top seeded Cowboys. Nebraska is down their ace and hottest bullpen arm of the past two weeks, needing a more lively arm than the normal softer tossing lefties that make up the next tier of their pen.
Niagara likes to change pitchers more than Creighton. Expect to see at least 7. Their goal is to get their closer in the game somewhere in the mid to late innings with a close game. Then he can go 3-4 innings.
This is the first time Nebraska and Niagara have ever met on the diamond.
