Ole Miss head baseball coach Mike Bianco confirmed on Thursday that star pitcher Doug Nikhazy will pitch against Louisville on opening weekend.
Nikhazy was arrested on a DUI charge in Oxford early on Monday morning.
Bianco said that Nikhazy has already received some of the punishment and maintained that the situation will handled internally.
“I mentioned earlier that we will keep the punishment internal, and so keeping with that statement, I can’t tell you exactly what the punishment is but I can tell you that it’s severe and I think appropriate for the incident,” Bianco said.
