There has been no mention of any new rule on pitching, so you'd assume that both teams have everyone available to throw since it'll be 7 days since they last played.  The bigger issue is the impact on the next series where Pope, on 9 days rest, will face on of the two teams on one day rest.  Clearly a HUGE disadvantage for whichever team advances.

As for the three days rest comment, that's a moot point as GHSA saw fit to completely change all the pitch count rules for playoffs and the only pitch count is no more than 120 pitches in a three day window.  That's what allowed Woodstock to throw a pitcher 96 pitches on Wednesday and come back and throw 24 the very next night in a closer appearance.

Add to the mix that rain is in the forecast all week here, who knows when game 3 will be played and subsequently when the championship series might start.

You sure about the Nuke?  I thought playoff pitching rules trump all, that is 120 per series per pitcher....no mention if the "series" lasted 3 days as intended or 15 days. 7 day rest may be irrelevant?

The "rule" that was sent out did state a three game series, but it was also ambiguous in that it mentioned weather affected games, but made no further stipulation of what that meant.

At this point, with GHSA, I think we should see what happens, who protests, and then how many times the board votes before they declare a winner in any game going forward.
