Oh, Danny Boy



OMAHA—Virginia freshman lefthander Danny Hultzen was marvelous tonight on three days’ rest. Hultzen held Arkansas to one unearned run on five hits and no walks while striking out seven over 6 1/3 innings of work. He threw 96 pitches, four days after throwing 77 pitches against Louisiana State. By pitching this deep into the game, Hultzen allowed UVa. to give Andrew Carraway some extra rest in case the Cavs hold on and earn a rematch against LSU on Friday. Setup man Tyler Wilson is in the game now as we head to the eighth inning, and closer Kevin Arico is loosening up in the bullpen. That duo, as well as lefty Matt Packer, will try to protect a 2-1 UVa. lead.

A really good game from both sides. Hultzen was really on tonight. I was a bit worried about him, as he looked gassed the last time out, but he was showing some of his mid-season form. If UVA can hold on (3-1), Carraway probably gives them as good a shot at LSU as they could hope for, with Morey in line for the 2nd start if they can force that next game.
