UConn picks up a run without a hit in the first inning, from a combination of walks and hit by pitches. UConn also stole two bases (Ferriter and Mazzilli) that inning. Ferriter also got picked off second base to continue that trend.

Siena gets picked off in the 2nd with first and third and one out. Bad base running really hurts this team.

I'd say nice start, but SHSU's incompetence is more responsible for this lead than anything we've done. Still good job by Marzi so far.

Hit the ball and STOP GETTING PICKED OFF. Twice today.

SHSU struggling badly in every phase of the game. Great game by McDowell at the plate BTW. We get top of the order next inning...keep dominating these SHSU bats.

Sam Houston pitchers have been quite generous with walks and hit by pitches, and have also allowed several stolen bases. They would really be in trouble if it weren't for the pick offs.

Error leads to a run for them and now our 3rd guy picked off this game. Killing ourselves.

Actually, UConn fielding is much better than last year. They also don't seem to compound the fielding mistakes that they do make like they did last year. However, in the 45 years I have followed baseball, I have never seen or heard any team getting as many runners picked off as these guys do.

Yes, totally agree about the fielding. It has been so much better than last year and surprising with 2 Freshmen starting in the infield.

They are extremely aggressive and are one of the countries leaders in steals, but i agree they do get picked off often. I think the positives out weigh the negatives but it does get frustrating.

We are having a hard time touching this new pitcher. We have 10k's as a team thru 6.

The offense has been scary. Horrendous team effort by the offense, and we are very lucky that SHSU shot themselves in the foot, then the chest, in the early going.

We need 6 more outs. Let's go bullpen.

Verdi steals 2nd, THEN steals 3rd and scores on a throwing error by SHSU's catcher (who has struggled tonight). 5-3 UConn in the 8th inning.

We choked...5-5 now, SHSU still threatening in the bottom of the 8th. Would be surprised if we take this one.

Top 9 now.

Interesting that he brought in Tabakman. We have 2 mid week games thgis week and you figure him to start one of those. Not sure why not bring in Feehan there?

This announcer has no idea what is going on. Painful to listen to this in such a close game.

Ferriter strikes out, but the pitch got away from the catcher so we have a runner on 2nd now. 1 out.

SHSU's catcher will have a limited sleep tonight. Passed ball leads to a stolen base.Runner on 3rd, 1 out. Pressure situation for Siena.

OMG, SHSU is committing seppuku on the field. 6-5 UConn on a passed ball.
