Notes: Both of these starters are coming off of fantastic performances against dangerous lineups. Pooser blanked Oregon State over seven innings, allowing a single hit while striking out eight, while Highfill limited Georgia and Charlie Condon to one run across six innings. They’re both experienced college veterans, too. Pooser has thrown 303 innings over four-plus seasons (four at College of Charleston) and made 48 starts, while Highfill has battled injuries but has thrown 269 (44 starts).

No. 3 Texas A&M vs. Florida

Justin Lamkin
LHP | So.
2-2 | 5.73 ERA

Last Outing: 0.1 IP, 1 H, 2 R, 1 BB vs. Louisiana in Regionals.

Postseason Stats: 1 G, 0.1 IP, 2 R, 1 H, 1 BB, 54.00 ERA (vs. Louisiana)

Liam Peterson
RHP | Fr.
3-4 | 5.97 ERA

Last Outing: 1 IP, 3 H, 3 R, 4 BB, 2 K vs. Clemson in Super Regionals.

Postseason Stats: 2 GS, 6.1 IP, 5 R, 7 H, 9 K, 7 BB, 7.11 ERA (vs. Nebraska and Clemson).

Notes: Peterson is the second freshman in as many days to draw a start after North Carolina’s Jason DeCaro. His first NCAA start against Nebraska (5.1 IP, 2 R) was much better than his second, when he was replaced after two batters in the second inning. He has faced Texas A&M before, back on March 16th, and surrendered six earned runs on five hits (three home runs) across two innings … Texas A&M lost Shane Sdao to injury and are opting to start Lamkin, who has logged a third of an inning this tournament, over ace Ryan Prager. Lamkin did pitch well against Florida back in March — 4.2 IP, 2 R, 2 BB, 5 K.

DAY 1
North Carolina 3, Virginia 2
Tennessee 12, Florida State 11

No. 4 North Carolina vs. No. 12 Virginia

Jason DeCaro
RHP | Fr.
6-1 | 3.89 ERA

Last Outing: 6.1 IP, 2 H, 1 R, 2 BB, 5 K vs. West Virginia in Super Regionals.

Postseason Stats: 3 GS, 12.1 IP, 9 H, 7 K, 5 BB, 5.11 ERA (vs. LIU, LSU, and West Virginia).

Evan Blanco
LHP | So.
8-3 | 3.69 ERA

Last Outing: 7 IP, 5 H, 4 R, BB, 9 K vs. Kansas St. in Super Regionals.

Postseason Stats: 2 GS, 13 IP, 13 H, BB, 16 K, 4.85 ERA (vs. Mississippi St. and Kansas St.)

Notes: This is the second time we’re seeing this pitching matchup in 2024. Blanco got the better of DeCaro the first time around back on April 5th as he turned in a quality start: 6.1 IP, 6 H, 2 R, BB, 7 K. DeCaro, meanwhile, was tagged with the loss after allowing five runs in six innings with three walks and five strikeouts. It was a close game entering the seventh — just 3-2 Virginia — before they struck for three more in an eventual 7-2 win.

No. 1 Tennessee vs. No. 8 Florida State

Chris Stamos
LHP | Gr.
3-0 | 4.02 ERA

Last Outing: 1.1. IP, 2 H, 2 R, 3 K vs. Evansville in Super Regionals.

Postseason Stats: 2 GS, 1.2 IP, 3 R, 4 H, 3 K (vs. Northern Kentucky and Evansville)

Jamie Arnold
LHP | So.
11-3 | 2.77 ERA

Last Outing: 5.1 IP, 7 H, 6 R, 5 ER, 9 K vs. UConn in Super Regionals.

Postseason Stats: 2 GS, 12.1 IP, 10 H, 2 BB, 21 K, 5.11 ERA (vs. UCF and UConn)

Notes: Stamos is used as an opener for AJ Causey, who is 12-3 with a 3.97 ERA and 117 strikeouts in just 86 innings. He’s holding opponents to a .247 batting average against and has walked just 19 batters … Arnold is coming off of a start in which he matched his season-high in runs allowed (six). He had dazzled in his tournament opener, fanning 12 over seven innings of two-run ball against UCF.
