Speed creates errors

Also, Chris Jones has noted during the broadcast that Georgetown does not have much team speed, which affects their defense.

On to the top of the 9th, UConn up 6-3.

UConn defensive changes. Garbowski at catcher, Simmons now in CF, Smith moves to LF, Morton comes out.

Top 9th, Willis with a 1-2-3 inning, Willis gets the save, and UConn gets the 6-3 win, UConn takes the series with another game to go today.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Willis breaks the all time record for saves at UConn as we win 6-3! Let's get the sweep.

I think Chris Jones just said that Ian Cooke will get the start in the second game, he will be on a pitch count, so don't expect him to go a long way.

My wife ordered me an Ian Cooke Hook C jersey for my birthday. I’m pumped.

Top 1st, Cooke has a 1-2-3 inning, he threw 6 pitches and had 1 strikeout. Not bad after missing a start last week. No score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Quick 1-2-3 for Cooke to start!

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says the 10 run mercy rule after 7 innings is in effect for this game. I believe it is regularly in effect for the last game of each Big East weekend series.

Bottom 1st, Daniels with a 1 out bunt single, he advances to 2B on a throwing error by the 3B. Studley with a 2 out RBI single, 1-0 UConn.

I can understand on a Sunday but why on a Saturday afternoon game?

Second game of a doubleheader…

 

[dbmill]

I can understand on a Sunday but why on a Saturday afternoon game?

Standard rule for the last game of a 3 game conference series in the Big East, that's the impression I got from what Chris Jones said.

Chris Jones thinking the pitch limit for Cooke today may be around 50 pitches.

 

[uconnbaseball]

A couple of hits by Daniels and Studley nets UConn a run in the bottom of the 1st. 1-0 going to the 2nd.

Georgetown's pitcher throws mid 90's and had a great year at Lafayette last year. He's the kind of pitcher I would expect to transfer to us or Wake Forest, not Georgetown. This should be a good test.

Top 2nd, after 2 strikeouts to start the inning, Cooke issues 2 walks, and then gives up an RBI single. Game tied at 1. Another walk loads the bases, and then a single brings in 2 more runs, 3-1 Georgetown.

Jack Sullivan warming up in the bullpen.

Cooke walks another batter to load the bases, but then Smith makes a great catch in CF to end the inning. 3-1 Georgetown.

Cooke is at 46 pitches at the end of the inning, so if he is on that pitch count of 50, he won't be around much longer in this game. After the 2 strikeouts that inning, he just lost his control.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense. 3-1 Georgetown.

Top 3rd, Cooke starts the inning on the mound, Jack Sullivan resumes warming up in the bullpen.

 

[CL82]

Nice save by Daniels.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, after a single and an infield error on Daniels, Cooke strands 2 runners in scoring position. 3-1 Georgetown. Cooke with 2 strikeouts that inning, he is at 65 pitches.

 

[uconnbaseball]

No damage in the top of the 3rd. Still 3-1 GT.

 

[CL82]

Good job pitching out of a problem for Cook.
3-1 GT

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, UConn offense with a scoreless inning. 3-1 Georgetown.

Top 4th, Cooke still on the mound, so much for that pitch count.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Cooke walks the leadoff hitter, he comes out of the game. Sullivan takes the mound.

Sullivan gives up 2 singles sandwiched around a strikeout bringing in a run with 1 out, 4-1 Georgetown. Another RBI single makes it 5-1 Georgetown. After a stolen base, a rather odd double play on a ground out where the runner gets hung up between home and 3B and thrown out. 5-1 Georgetown.

 

[CL82]

Well that was weird….

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, UConn offense with a scoreless inning. 5-1 Georgetown.
