UCLA v. Stony Brook lineups

OMAHA, Neb. — Here are your lineups for the opening game of the 2012 College World Series between UCLA and Omaha. As the lower seed, UCLA will be the home team. Clouds hang over TD Ameritrade Park but it doesn’t appear as though rain will threaten today’s game.

As is usually the case with opening games, we have a great pitching matchup between UCLA’s Adam Plutko (11-3, 2.56 ERA) and Stony Brook’s Tyler Johnson who went to Crespi High in Encino (12-1, 1.94 ERA). Johnson can go the distance as he’s thrown five complete games this season.
