OMAHA, Neb. -- LSU and Florida came into the College World Series with well-laid pitching plans.
But with Florida ace Alex Faedo pitching deep into a semifinal win Saturday against TCU, both teams enter the best-of-three championship series without a full starting rotation.
That will be one of the key story lines leading into the 6 p.m. Monday first pitch.
LSU secured a spot in the finals with a second consecutive win against top-ranked Oregon State and Florida moved forward with a bounce-back win Saturday after a Friday loss.
LSU and Florida both have at least two top-line starters available to pitch on full rest or something close to it, with LSU's Jared Poche expected to go in one of the first two games and Alex Lange tabbed for the third game.
