With the Arizona Wildcats forced to play four games in less than 48 hours to win the Lafayette Regional, the coaching staff decided to use ace pitcher Nathan Bannister on just two days rest.
It worked out for Arizona, as Bannister lasted seven innings in Monday afternoon's game against Louisiana-Lafayette. But it still brought him to nearly 200 pitches thrown over the weekend.
"It was an elimination game for us, so I had to go out and win," said Bannister.
Using up your senior ace like this isn't right though.
