... gave MSU the opportunity to start its usual Friday pitcher today (coincidentally, Friday).
Small pitched Saturday and would be throwing on the sixth day. He could return for a potential Game 3 of the finals on the fifth day after pitching.
Pilkington, the usual Saturday starter and a high draft choice, would start Game 1 of the finals if Small won today.
However, State decided to go with the #3 guy -- Billingsley -- with the 4.92 ERA. A baserunning gaffe by OSU got Billingsley out of the first inning with only one run allowed.
Lots of rest for CWS pitchers ...

I’m guessing they need more banana stories or weddings or how Rowdy got his name stories.
