But all weekend, we&#8217;ll have some pretty good match-ups.<\/p>\n<p>In terms of arms, I don&#8217;t think it gets much better than Friday&#8217;s game between Vanderbilt and UCLA. <strong>Sonny Gray<\/strong>, the reigning SEC Pitcher of the Week who&#8217;s slated for Cotuit this summer, is expected to get the start against fellow sophomore star <strong>Gerrit Cole<\/strong>. The two were both on Cotuit&#8217;s roster but ended up as <a href=\"http:\/\/www.tennessean.com\/article\/20100224\/SPORTS0602\/100224051\/Vandy%20s%20Gray%20to%20face%20USA%20teammate%20in%20California\">teammates on Team USA<\/a> instead. Cole is not on the Cotuit roster for 2010. <\/p>\n<p>In their first outings of the year, Gray struck out eight in eight shutout innings, while Cole struck out nine, didn&#8217;t walk anybody and allowed just one hit in six innings. Cole and Gray were ranked second and fourth on Baseball America&#8217;s list of the top 50 sophomore prospects in the nation.<\/p>\n<p>In all the other Classic games, there is slated to be at least one &#8217;09 or &#8217;10 Cape Leaguer on the mound. <strong>Tyler Lyons<\/strong> (Chatham &#8217;09) goes for the Cowboys against USC on Friday. On Saturday, Vandy&#8217;s <strong>Taylor Hill <\/strong>(Chatham &#8217;09) gets the start against USC, while OK State&#8217;s <strong>Thomas Keeling<\/strong> (Chatham &#8217;09) pitches against UCLA standout <strong>Trevor Bauer<\/strong> (Y-D &#8217;10). In Sunday&#8217;s games, <strong>Kevin Couture <\/strong>(Chatham &#8217;07 &#038; &#8217;08) is slated to pitch for USC against UCLA&#8217;s <strong>Rob Rasmussen<\/strong> (Orleans &#8217;08 &#038; &#8217;09), while <strong>Jack Armstrong <\/strong>(Wareham &#8217;09 &#038; &#8217;10) gets the start for Vandy against OSU&#8217;s <strong>Andrew Heaney<\/strong> (Falmouth &#8217;10).<\/p>\n<p>Whew.
