2016 NCAA Baseball Tournament - UConn's Road to Omaha

[dbmill]

I'm all for having pitchers throwing multiple innings when they are hot and getting hitters out. However, I've noticed this hardly ever works for Over. He is good for an inning plus, and then bad things tend to happen.

 

[dbmill]

Domnarski faces one hitter, now Polonia coming in.

 

[Jimdish255]

OK we're hanging in and hopefully getting 2 frames to score 2 with one more out here.

Sorry fans you can leave anytime....geeze

 

[dbmill]

Polonia gets the out to end the top of the 8th inning.

 

[Jimdish255]

So the announcer is now stealing our signs. What kind of BS is that?

 

[BugsyCT]

double play, headed to the 9th.

 

[Jimdish255]

Polonia scaring me now. Coach too and we're emptying out the pen.

 

[dbmill]

Polonia walks the lead off man in the 9th. Given how wild he can be, that's never a good sign for him. Penders is taking him out. Dan Rajkowski coming in.

Welcome to the NCAA Tournament Dan...you get to face Peter Alonzo.

Can't get any calls now.

Double play!! Bottom of 9th coming. LET'S GO!!!!

 

[Jimdish255]

Raj Flustered by the baserunner but his stuff ain't bad. Just pitch.

Double play!! Bottom of 9th coming. LET'S GO!!!!

Another great play by Willy Yahn. He is the best defensive third baseman UConn has had in several years.

 

[shizzle787]

What a play; perfect for the momentum to get two runs.

 

[B1GEast]

What a play at 3rd

 

[Jimdish255]

Yahn just had 2 of the best plays in the tournament. If we win he's the MVP tonight.

#UConn will have a quick turn-around against second-seeded @GTBaseball in an elimination game at 12 p.m. on ESPN3. #HookC

 

[HuskyHawk]

Gave the #1 overall seed all they could handle. Their bullpen and lineup depth is insane.

 

[Gurleyman]

So far we have been absolutely obliterated by both bullpens while ours can't get anyone out. Doesn't bode well - Montgomerie needs to go 7 or 8 with a lead and hand it straight to Ruotolo.

We took the #1 overall seed to the wire. I love our team and look forward to watching us play @UConnBaseball at noon tomorrow. #BleedBlue

 

[ct06111]

Another 1 run loss. Great effort against a #1, but def a bummer. They coulda won that game

 

[Stainmaster]

Nothing quite like going toe-to-toe with the best team in the country and coming up just short. This one stings, but hopefully our guys can brush it off and take care of business. As we showed tonight, we absolutely have the talent to win this thing. Also, gotta love Rajkowski throwing a clean inning. To have limited game experience with subpar results up until this point and keep the deficit at one run in such a high-pressure situation takes guts.

 

[Gurleyman]

Just noticed that the pitchers of record were Over and Dunning. We could turn that into a cockpit scene for Airplane III.
