Who Will Be In The Conference Rotation?
Worcester, MA -- With only three spots available, competition is heating up for a bid in the conference weekend rotation. Paul McIntosh has been the most consistent starter so far and surely he has a spot wrapped up. Jon Sterk likely has a spot as well. Although his season numbers aren't great, he's been the Crusaders' most dominant pitcher as of late.
That leaves it down to the question of; Colt Seavers or Nate Walker? Walker looked like a great candidate until yesterday's start against Wichita State, where gave up six earned runs in 5.1 innings pitched. Seavers has been roughed up so far this season, but arguably has been facing tougher competition than Walker.
Holy Cross opens their home schedule against Elon this weekend, while they travel to Louisiana-Lafeyette next week for a two-game series. Here's the projected starters for each series:
Vs Elon: Jon Sterk, Paul McIntosh, Colt Seavers
Vs Wichita State: Nate Walker, Paul McIntosh
