He's only thrown 78 pitches through 6 innings. No reason he shouldn't pitch the 7th.
SECT Mizzou Game Thread

Hoover used to be a real tough place to hit a HR. Bat changes a little, ball changes a little, fences have come in much like they have at the Dude. I remember when the whole SEC tourney would yield only about 3-4 HRs at the Met. Only the big HR hitters were lucky to get one out. Yesterday, the first 8 teams hit 14 HRs........in one day! I have never seen HRs fly out of this ballpark like this.
At this point, he needs to pitch as long as possible. Our only shot at being a Top 8 is a deep run to Sunday, so save the rest of the pitching staff today or maybe finish with Fowler/Rhodes.
I just looked back at MSU 2013 stats. We hit THIRTY home runs with 16 of them by Hunter Renfroe and played in the finals of the CWS. The game has really changed.
Maybe get big brother to hit a 3 run homer in the bottom of the sixth & get outta here in 7 innings with a 10 run rule win
VYTAS......my man!! I asked him for a run rule game......and he delivered!! Now, just hold them and let's go to the house.
Agree.....his bat went around without a doubt. Surprised Mizzou didn't appeal.
Vito doing his best to energize the bats today, nice work young man
Trying to get a quick inning and ensure the run rule ends it now I guess.

I officially proclaim today as the "Day of Valincius"
I’d like to see Ryno get some innings in against an elite lineup like Georgia to get ready for the regional.
I suspect that’s the plan. If we pitched Tico vs Missouri just to pitch Billingsley or Sweeney vs Georgia I’m going to be a little pissed.
Balks can be called by any umpire in the infield.
Check swings should be able to be called by ABS as well, it always gets appealed to the appropriate foul line umpire anyway.
Catcher interference? Meh….line umps can likely judge that too.
I don’t think it would slow the game at all. You can have the ball / strike call broadcast in realtime over the PA, put on the scoreboard, signaled by another ump with an earpiece, etc. You already have at least 15 secs or so between every pitch with hitters stepping out / back-in, etc.
