After each pitching three innings, all are considered possible starters and all may see time in this at game. The Cadets are coming off a rough start to the 1999 season at 4-12. Although they have such a small winning percentage, their record is deceiving. The Cadets have faced numerous Division I teams such as James Madision Univ., Pace Univ., and Wagner Univ. The loss of cleanup hitter Mike Scioletti will leave a hole in the batting line-up for the Cadets that will need to be filled with virtually untested youth. Offensively, Army should have trouble with the Pioneers.
