Probable Starters - RHP Justin Silverstein (0-2, 8.03 ERA)
Just 12.1 IP in 10 appearances, including 4 starts. His longest outing was 2 weeks ago vs A&T when he went 3 innings.

His stats indicate control issues.. 4 WP, 5 HBP and 14 BB in those 12.1 IP. He has also served up 3 gopher balls. OTOH, he has 19 K and opponents are hitting just .234 against him.

More like a really dangerous 4.
Only if they fall in the RPI.

The highest-ranked 4 seed in the RPI was #60 and High Point is currently 50th.

As an aside, they've now officially protected the 1 seeds against the best 2s, but they should probably do the same against 4s. There's a big difference between playing team #60 in the first game and against team #200.

Lotta lefties. I want Nunez to get more chances because I think he has shown a lot of promise. But I guess you cannot really take French out after 3-4 against GT and against a RHP today

High Point pitcher has a very weird follow through. Very unbalanced at the finish. He is gonna fall down here soon.

similar inning to High Points meltdown in game three at Florida that cost them the sweep in Gainesville

I guess it goes without saying, but I would really like to see Gavin snap out of his funk at the plate. Need his bat to be hot in the postseason.
He either does it or he should drop out of the top four. Simply cannot have an automatic out in the 2 hole.
