RE: Perrot OUT...Lemond STARTING
Why is Perrot not playing? Just too much to ask a catcher to play four games in a regional, or is it something else?
It seems to me that his defensive skills are especially needed against Oregon, but I'm honestly not up on Kopycinski's capabilities, so that's not a knock on him.

Injured...took a ball off his lower leg the other night.

HUGE loss-- both offensively and, especially, defensively. Time for Hunter to play the hero and show he belongs.
Must say I'm a bit surprised it's now Skyler behind the plate, as his bat is certainly better.

Is he out of the game completely or just out of the starting lineup? Any word on how serious injury is? I guess I shouldn't be worrying about his availability for the SR until after the win tonight.

Kopycinski was the best defensive catcher in the state coming out of HS and a 2-time Area Code participant -- obviously there's a big jump from HS to college, but defense is his calling card. We should be OK here.

Definitely not good per chuck tweet:
Hunter Kopycinski will start at catcher for the Owls against Oregon; starter Geoff Perrott in a boot after fouling ball off leg Sunday

RE: Perrot OUT...Lemond STARTING
In the worst prediction of all time (apart from the guy who said that Horton was outcoaching Graham), I predicted last fall that Hunter K would beat out Geoff P for the catching job.
Of course Geoff has had a spectacular season and perhaps has caught more innings in one season than any catcher in school history.
Nevertheless, I feel a wee wee bit vindicated by Hunter's effort tonight.
