Do we hold Mitchell now?

Hell Yeah we do.
We still got Lindgren in the pen. I'd throw Brown and hold Mitchell and Laster for Sunday. You can't draw up a better picture than Mitchell pitching for the clinching game. Hopefully score some runs and hold Holder for Sunday as well. Couldn't have set up better for us.

Absolutely NOT
I messed my title up and answered the wrong question. You definitely hold Mitchell is what i'm trying to say.
Throw Laster or Brown or whoever the staff feels is the best option who's a strike thrower. We've got the opportunity of a lifetime. The reward, you get Ross Mitchell against somebody's #4 pitcher. The risk, you lose to Jackson State, throw Ross against Lafayette or SDSU's #3, and then have to beat Jackson State twice, their #3 and #4 pitchers. No question in my mind the risk/reward points to saving Ross for Sunday.

Mitchell is not our best pitcher. Lindgren is. I totally understand burning Mitchell tomorrow if you want to save Lingo for Sunday.
But you could also give Laster or Brown a shot. If they're good, awesome. If not, use Lingo or Holder.
Whatever happens, we should have at least two of our four best pitchers (Lingo, Mitchell, Holder, Laster) available on Sunday

I wouldn't have a problem with laster going. You certainly don't want to go this weekend without laster pitching.
I know some are saying don't overlook JSU but if they beat us it won't be because of pitching. They didn't exactly knock the cover off the ball tonight.
If ULL has trouble with junk pitchers then Mitchell will be a better option than Lindgren against ULL.
"Shelled" may be too strong a word for Woodruff on my part but he has been far from solid with a 1-3 record and an ERA around 6. It seems like Woodruff is forever getting into jams early because he can't throw strikes and someone comes in and bails him out otherwise that ERA would be even higher.
Hold Mitchell. JSU has seen a lot of 78 mph fast balls. Throw some heat and save Mitchell. #ULLcanthitthejunk
