OMAHA, Neb. — Arkansas and Ole Miss can’t afford to hold their aces for the national championship series against Oklahoma.
The teams will throw their No. 1 starters, right handers Connor Noland of Arkansas and Dylan Delucia of Ole Miss, on short rest Thursday when they play at 3 p.m. at Schwab Field in the decisive national semifinal game at the College World Series.
Both pitchers threw 7 2/3 innings last Saturday in their opening games in Omaha.
