Wake only needs to beat the winner of the Pitt/ND game to advance which

they will know before they even play game one in the tourney. They advance in any 1-1 tiebreaker scenario with someone else. So once they (if) they win against the ND/Pitt winner, their other game is meaningless (as far as the ACC tourney goes). They can take one of those two games "off" essentially so they won't use any of their premium pitchers in whatever game is with the loser of the Pitt/ND game. ** Edited by VTScoop at 5/22/2023, 11:06:51 AM ** Edited by VTScoop at 5/22/2023, 11:07:24 AM

Isn't it round robin for the pool play?**

It is technically round robin but only way we can win is go 2-0

ACC did Wake NO favors

Maybe league is looking big picture and trying to get that 10th Tourney

I still don't see the big advantage. If you throw a top 3 guy on Thursday
hoosnowahokie 05/22/23 11:22 AM ET
They’ll only pitch a starter vs the winner of the other pool game
hokiepro 05/22/23 02:01 PM ET
I could be completely wrong but
HokiePetcu 05/22/23 12:00 PM ET
Maybe they thought their pitching needed a reset after this weekend?
HokieEngineer 05/22/23 08:51 AM ET
