I thunk the story on TU arms is what it's always been: tons of talent that doesn't always equate to effectiveness. Sometimes those guys mature and turn into a Ben Klimesh. After Lucero, TU has a bunch of guys that are like Klimesh was before his junior year. But Klimesh also no hit Notre Dame through 6 imnings as a freshman. For the remainder of this tournamwnt, I expect that TU arms will either get really hit around or they will leave other teams questioning why these guys didn't get more innings during the regular season - it could go either way.

The HR and double that Lucero allowed to Thornton yesterday were only the 2nd and 3rd extra base hits that he has allowed this season.  In 166.1 career innings, Lucy has only allowed 19 extra base hits, a staggeringly low 12% of his total hits allowed. 

Having a guy like this as your Sunday starter is a huge boon for Trinity, and it's a demoralizing reality for any opponent to have to start a Saturday against Klimesh and conclude a weekend by facing an equally effective pitcher in Lucero.
