Cate induces a groundout to get out of the 6th!

Ground ball to Moriarty ends the inning. 4-1 UConn after the top of the 6th.

That had to feel good... build the confidence back.

Had to. We'll see if Cate stays in for another inning. Chris Jones says no one is warming in the UConn pen, so looks like Cate will get a second inning. Then no doubt it will be on to Wallace/Poulin.

What is with Andy's walk-up song?? LOL!

Freshmen don't pick their walk up songs.

Ah OK. That's better. For some reason I thought he was a sophomore.

 

[HawkHusky]

Really missing Prato on defense.

 

[dbmill]

Double play gets Cate out of the top of the 7th. 4-1 UConn. A successful return to the mound for Tim Cate.

Really missing Prato on defense.

Big-time. Also missing his bat.

Double play ends the inning!

 

[HawkHusky]

Good work by Cate today, especially against a very good ECU line-up.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense has fallen asleep. Still 4-1 going to the 8th.

 

[Baseballguy]

USF is up 7-2 on Cincy

 

[dbmill]

UConn goes down quickly in the 7th. Poulin in to pitch the top of the 8th, with lefties coming up for ECU.

This is the BIG inning...

 

[dbmill]

Packard strikes out to start the inning for the first out. UConn finally gets him out today.

 

[huskymedic]

Clutch...

... a few amenities would be nice but that would be pressing it.

 

[dbmill]

1 two out walk, but Poulin gets three outs, with 2 strikeouts. 4-1 UConn going to the bottom of the 8th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Excellent pitching in this second game today.

A few amenities leads to less agita.

 

[Baseballguy]

I’ve realized ECU hits poorly against lefties

 

[uconnbaseball]

Strong inning from Poulin, followed by a poor offensive bottom of the 8th. Still 4-1 UConn going to the 9th.

Angina time!

 

[dbmill]

Poulin stays in to start the 9th, facing another lefty, who singles.

 

[dbmill]

Ground ball to Woodworth gets the first out of the inning. Runner on 3B.

 

[dbmill]

Another ground ball to Woodworth, 2 out, runner scores. 4-2 UConn.
