I was going to post the same, but what was the reasoning for Nola in game 1 last year? I think weather or a scheduling quirk making it a short turnaround from the regional to the super would be the only reasons Nola doesn't start the first game this year.

Gausman wanted to pitch game 2.

Personally I think he underestimated Stony Brook. I don't remember what the forecast looked like for that Friday, but maybe he thought it would rain and didn't want to throw Gausman.

Last year in the Super's, Stony Brook had one good pitcher. That pitcher threw over 220 pitches the Friday and Monday before they played us.
