[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Sears again puts down the side in order, picks up 2 more strikeouts. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Morton with a leadoff walk, he advances to 2B on a sac bunt. UConn offense has 3 leadoff walks so far this game.

Chris Jones on the game broadcast thinks both sac bunts so far were bunts that were trying for hits, but the bunter was thrown out at 1B.

Huber with a 2 out infield single which drives in Morton who had previously advanced to 3B on another out. 1-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, another 1-2-3 inning for Sears, he is very sharp today. 1-0 UConn. 42 pitches so far for Sears today, if he keeps this up he will certainly help save a good chunk of the bullpen for tomorrow's doubleheader.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Broadhurst with a leadoff walk for the Huskies, each inning so far the leadoff batter for UConn has walked. Pitching change.

Broadhurst moves to 3B after an error on a pick off attempt. Tammaro picks up an RBI on a 1 out infield single. 2-0 UConn.

Morton with a 2 out 2 run homer, 4-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Huge home run to get separation!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, after the 2 out Morton homer, UConn offense puts runners on the corners. A run scores when Freeberger, the runner on 1B, gets caught in a run down while trying to steal 2B. 5-0 UConn.

Bottom 5th, UConn offense quickly goes down in order. 5-0 UConn.

"Quickly" as in three pitches. Don't see that often.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Sears strikes out the side, 5-0 UConn. Sears now at 10 strikeouts on the game.

Interesting. Georgetown has played 38 games. Six players have played in 37 or 38 and no one else has played in more than 20. Strange. Two of their top hitters (the only two over .306) have 14 HR's each.

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, a leadoff infield single, first baserunner of the game for Georgetown. Runner advances to 2B on a bad pickoff throw, and advances to 3B on a wild pitch with no out. Run scores on a ground out for the 2nd out. 5-1 UConn going to the bottom of the inning.

Sears at 86 pitches and now has 11 strikeouts on the game. Fogell was warming up that inning.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says T.C. Simmons might play this weekend, would be great to see him back.

 

[uconnbaseball]

I would start Sears in the top of the 8th and would replace him with Fogell or Afthim at the first sign of trouble.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, first 2 UConn batters draw walks. Freeberger with a no out RBI single, 6-1 UConn. Pitching change.

Georgetown offense has 59 homers on the season. Ah, the joys of playing on a home field that is a band box.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, a no out double steal puts 2 runners in scoring position. Huber drives in 2 runs with a no out double. 8-1 UConn.

Huber is shaken up on the play, so Drew Kron comes in to pinch run. Maddix Dalena will no doubt take over defensively at 1B.

Padilla with a 2 out RBI double, 9-1 UConn. Tammaro follows with a 2 run homer, 11-1 UConn. Pitching change.
