OU has played some good ball thus far and they'll ride in with some top end starters, specifically, twin brothers Kyson and Malachi Witherspoon. Kyson (5-1, 1.80 ERA), the higher rated prospect, will get the start tonight. He is slated to be one of the top pitchers taken in the draft this year. His brother (who is 2-1, with a 5.13 ERA), won't be too far behind though. Both are hard throwing righties with good stuff. For Bama, Riley Quick's status (blister) is still up in the air, but he may start on Sunday... seems to be 50/50 right now. Alcock is sliding up to the Saturday slot. There will be plenty of options if Quick can't go on Sunday, but hopefully those options will include a well rested pen... need 2 quality starts from Adams and Alcock. Runs should be at a premium, especially tonight, but winning this first one is important for the series.
