First-year Sean Sullivan will toe the rubber for Northwestern in the first game of the series. With a 1.71 ERA through the first four starts of his college career, Sullivan has won two Big Ten Freshman of the Week honors and a Big Ten Pitcher of the Week award after impressive outings against Santa Clara and St. Thomas.

He threw a complete-game, 11-strikeout shutout of the Tommies in a 9-0 win on Opening Day for the Wildcats.
