CUTrevor 2021-03-19 10:54:04

The Tigers are coming off a 7-2 win over Georgia State, and Adam Hackenberg made his season debut at DH, scoring a run. Monte is mixing up the starting rotation this weekend. Mack Anglin will make his first career start tonight, Sharpe will start on Saturday and Keyshawn Askew will get his first start of the season on Sunday. First pitch is at 6:00, and I'll have live play-by-play for you right here!
