Probable starters

Coastal Carolina opens its 2008 baseball season at 4 p.m. Friday -- if -- the predicted rain holds off.

It will be interesting to watch Austin Fleet on Saturday. Fleet is coming off shoulder surgery and is expected to be Coastal's No. 2 starter. Freshman Rich Witten will make his debut on Saturday or Sunday.

These are the projected opening series starter courtesy of Mr. Kent Reichert.
