For the Friday night game, expect freshman ace Daulton Jefferies to make his 4th start. This talented freshman righty has an incredible 2-0 record with 1.08 ERA and 13 K's in 16.2 innings (okay, that K rate is not that high...but this is super small sample size to start with). Last year's Friday starter and now closer sophomore Ryan Mason has also a solid season with 2-0 record and 6 K's in 8.0 innings.
