Last weekend I floated the idea that USC save its ace, Mason Edwards, for the UCLA game at the Big Ten Tournament. Well, today USC coach Andy Stankiewicz said he will start No. 2 pitcher Grant Govel tomorrow against Texas State and save Edwards for the big game Saturday against host Texas A&M. Some might view its as a risk but if USC beats Texas … Continue reading Andy Stankiewicz Makes Big Rotation Change For USC At Regionals
