9-2 after a successful double steal after a Morton rbi single.

Even though that was a hanger, Korey didn't pull off of it. Hopefully, some of his adjustments are starting to take hold and he can become the threat he is capable of.

Morton having a Husky Day!

UMBC w/ 2 run homerun off Abbadessa in the T8 to make it 9-4 heading to B8.

Freeberger heading to mound to close this game out for UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Freeberger should pitch more!

Kudos on quick turnaround:

With a 90% chance of rain, I don’t think this one gets played. The warm part is in play…it’s just that the wet part may be problematic.

DH on Sunday? Or just one for a getaway day? Sunny and 50 on Sunday.

On-line tickets begin at $17.

I wouldn’t buy one until I knew they were playing…so I’d be in at the gate.

IMO, that’s too expensive for a college baseball game

Agreed. They are using it as a soft opening for yard goats- getting their staff ready for opening day- and they are even keeping that true of the prices.

 

[Steve UConn72]

Looks like the rain is supposed to stop early afternoon. Maybe they'll postpone the start to 3 or so? I don't think they play a double header on a Sunday getaway day (4-5 hours back to BMore, depending on traffic) for a non-conference game.

No hyde, interesting.

Hyde caught yesterday.

The game looks sparsely attended...hopefully people will show up when they see that the weather is fine.

UMBC starts off the game with a 2 run home run.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hyde caught yesterday.

My bad, he typically catches for Sears so I was confused.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Sears retires the final 2 hitters without further damage after Coach Mac gave Sears a "pep talk." 2-0 UMBC going to the bottom of the 1st.
