man o man...sorry about this
looks like stutes...right the first time, ignore turpen.
The Beavers usually place a left-handed starting pitcher second in the rotation to show a different look to teams each game of a series. That is Paterson?s usual spot between Mike Stutes and Reyes.
The Beavers were already out of sequence with Stutes (9-4) planned to go Game 2, however Casey wouldn?t fully confirm that?s still the case. He only suggested his No. 1 starter as today?s pitcher.
?I?m assuming we are going to start Stutes,? Casey said. ?Our assumption going into (Game 1) was stay in rotation prior to coming in. That means Jorge, Stutes and then we have (Paterson) and Daniel Turpen who can start.?
Paterson only threw to five batters, so he can be used today for any distance or Tuesday if a third game is needed.
?Their pitching is very good,? Michigan coach Rich Maloney said. ?That?s key to Oregon State?s success. They have great pitching and play great defense. If you can do that, you win games.?
