*Note: Neither pitching matchups nor lineups have been released yet, but I’d be shocked if either school doesn’t give the ball to their respective Aces. Both last pitched on Saturday, so they’re as close to full rest as you’ll get in a tournament setting.
Snap Analysis and Predictions:
Just like the last time we played, Vanderbilt will have the clear advantage on the mound, but NC State has two solid lefty relievers who can wreak havoc late in the game. Offensively, it’s tough to know what to expect, as Vanderbilt has been feast or famine, whereas NC State has whupped up on all opponents who are not Vanderbilt (Jack Leiter and crew held them to 1 run, which really should have been enough to win, but here we are).
