Starting pitchers anchor Cougars in early season

Solid pitching from starters and relievers is one of the reasons why the baseball team is enjoying early season success at 13-6 before conference play.

“The pitchers have been consistent,” head coach Todd Whitting said. “If they can continue to do that over the next few weeks, I think we have a chance to win a bunch of games.”

Great pitching was expected this season as the team had two players named to multiple media outlets’ preseason all-American lists. Junior Andrew Lantrip and sophomore Seth Romero have not disappointed so far.

Lantrip is first in the rotation and makes his starts every Friday night against the opposing team’s best pitcher.
