[dbmill]

Top 4th, after a single, with 1 out a double that includes an error on Studley allows the run to come in, 7-2 Northeastern going to the bottom of the inning.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Got to say, Northeastern just looks like a better team to this point.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones and company says the wind has really died down, it is not blowing like it was earlier in the game.

Bottom 4th, UConn offense puts runners on the corners with 1 out. Morton gets an RBI on a fielders choice ground out where Morton reaches base, 7-3 Northeastern. UConn offense leaves 2 runners on base.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Northeastern with a 2 out solo homer, 8-3 Northeastern. Kirby coming out, Joe Carrea coming in to pitch. Another solo homer, 9-3 Northeastern.

 

[ATLDYKA]

What is up with Kirby this year. Not the same pitcher.

 

[Bomber36]

Gettin’ ugly.

 

[dbmill]

Gettin’ ugly.

That's a good description, that's for sure.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, UConn offense goes down in order. 9-3 Northeastern.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Their hitting everything out and to the wall. Huber looks like he gets all of it and it doesn't even make it to the warning track. One of those days.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Carrea gets a 1-2-3 inning. 9-3 Northeastern, it's the first inning this game where they haven't scored.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Has Carrea been hurt. Kid looks like he has good stuff.

Has Carrea been hurt. Kid looks like he has good stuff.

Don't think he has been hurt. I believe Carrea has been traveling with the team on most of the road trips.

He walked onto the team in the fall, the second time he has been with fall ball with UConn baseball.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Daniels with a 2 out double, moves to 3B on a wild pitch, but that is it for the UConn offense that inning. 9-3 Northeastern.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Morton needs to realize he can be even a better hitter than he already is if he could just become a little more selective at the plate. He hasn't seen a pitch he doesn't like.

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, Carrea with a scoreless inning after a 2 out walk. 9-3 Northeastern.

Mitchell Pascarella was warming up that inning, he hasn't pitched in a game yet this season.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Carrea has earned himself more opportunities.

 

[dbmill]

Morton needs to realize he can be even a better hitter than he already is if he could just become a little more selective at the plate. He hasn't seen a pitch he doesn't like.

One thing Morton is doing offensively this season is taking a higher percentage of walks in his at bats then he did last season. Still, he is not hitting like he did last season. And yes, there are certainly times where he swings at pretty much anything.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, UConn offense with a scoreless inning. 9-3 Northeastern.

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, a 1out 3 run homer. 12-3 Northeastern. Carrea coming out of the game, Pascarella taking the mound, his first regular season game he has pitched for UConn.

Chris Jones says Pascarella has been battling injuries for most of this season. He was redshirted last season.

 

[ATLDYKA]

First outing of the year and In my opinion they stretched Carrea too far. Asking a lot to pitch him this many pitches.

Top 8th, Pascarella gets 2 outs with 2 strikeouts to end the inning. 12-3 Northeastern.

Pascarella looked good also. Had nice movement on his pitches.

 

[dbmill]

First outing of the year and In my opinion they stretched Carrea too far. Asking a lot to pitch him this many pitches.

Actually, this is Carrea's third appearance in a game this season. Before this game he pitched 1.2 innings, and had a 5.40 ERA. Still, this was a solid game for him.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, with 2 outs the UConn offense gets 2 walks. That's it for this inning, as all three outs were on strikeouts. 12-3 Northeastern.
