Monte Lee says he and his coaching staff have a plan for his pitching staff at this weekend’s NCAA Oxford (Miss.) Regional, and it starts with junior Jacob Hennessy.
Lee announced the lefty will get the ball first when No. 3 seed Clemson faces No. 2 Illinois in Game 1 Friday (4 p.m.) at Swayze Field in Oxford.
“We feel very good about our starting pitching,” Lee said Tuesday. “I said yesterday that our three starters, we feel very confident in all three. We feel like Jacob is the right call to go in Game One. We had lengthy discussions about it yesterday and a lengthy meeting about it this morning and we feel very good as a staff going with Jacob in Game One.
