Is it time to move Morgan or Dugas back to leadoff?

Before you guys come in here saying "don't change horses mid race" or "this current line up got us to the finals", let's recap our Nation-leading offense during this CWS:
We average 9.5 runs per game:
Tennessee: 6 Runs scored
Wake Forest: 2 Runs
Tennessee: 5 runs
Wake: 5 runs
Wake: 2 runs (in 11 innings)
We scored so many runs during the season because Crews and White were always up to bat with runners on base. With Crews and white leading off, we havent had many runners on with them up.
The bottom of our lineup isn't producing like it was during regionals and super regionals. This means when Crews gets up to bat, there's usually no one on base.
I think CJJ has to at least think about trying to get Morgan (who is having a stellar CWS) to hit ahead of Crews and white.
ETA: One could argue its our pitching that actually got us to the finals, not our offense.

Our coach who’s taking us to the CWS finals in year 2 got this. Trust in Jay.

We are in the championship series. Why are you questioning our coach?

Leave it alone as is. We in finals. Dont mess with it

Having your two best hitters go 1-2 is what allowed them to have those at bats in the 11th. Don’t change it.

We've been one of the best offensive teams in Omaha despite playing 5 games against the two best pitching staffs in the country.

Have you taken a look at some of the other games? Spoiler alert, nobody is scoring runs. And all of our games have come against the two best staffs in the country.

I think Dugas is finally seeing the ball well enough to move to the top again. His approach has been much better.
And I do think that helps this team.
But I have to say that my opinions and evals in the postseason have been wrong over and over.

We have played every CWS game against the #1 and #2 teams in the country in ERA
Florida is 33 for reference

Almost like we are playing teams with very good and deep pitching in a pitcher friendly park.
Also who would you rather have up in the top of the 11th Dugas and Morgan or Crews and White. Batting Crews and White 1-2 gives them more At Bats that’s way more important

Dylan leading off and Tommy being second got them the at bat last night to win the game. The point is those two get to the plate the maximum number of times every game.

We’ve scored more runs then all other CWS teams while also facing the two best pitching staffs in the country with Tennessee twice and wake forest 3x
Everyone is struggling in Omaha to get runs but our offense is actually doing the best

Comparing regular season runs scored to games in omaha with the wind blowing in and facing the best pitching staffs in the country isnt a way to rationalize this. Leave the lineup alone

We just faced played 5 games vs the two best team ERAs in D1 baseball and scored above their team ERA. Averaged 5.5 runs vs #2 ERA Tenn(3.63 ERA) and 3 vs #1 ERA Wake(2.83 ERA) in a ballpark notorious for limited run production.
Yeah we need to change something
