So what does Coach Allister do opening day as far as pitching assignments? Friday they open with Utah Valley, weak squad. Later in the day they catch Oklahoma, very good squad, 49-9 last season, rated #9 this year. Finished the season #9 last year. 2013 NCAA champs. Paige Parker, arguably the best freshman in the nation last season, I assume will be throwing for the Sooners. Four perfect games last year, tied the NCAA record. She's very similar to Groenewegen as far as being a pitcher and a hitter. When she isn't throwing she's the DP. Oklahoma does get #19 Washington later in the day.
I'd have Nikki throw the first one, the opener against Utah Valley and have Sara take the OU contest. (Just because I love those pitching match ups.)
