UNC’s Pitching Plan for Sunday's Game Against West Virginia

UNC's off-day at the College World Series on Saturday was beneficial for everyone, but especially Caden Glauber. Glauber, who threw 33 pitches Friday, will likely pitch for the second time in three days. He's expected to pitch in relief of Sunday's likely starter, Ryan Lynch.

Dealing with the higher level of competition is just one adjustment all teams need to make when coming to the College World Series.
