Double play! Defense continues to be a positive.

Bottom 1st, the first Cal batter walks, then is removed on a double play. Sullivan faces the minimum three batters, no score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Slow start for the offense - have not advanced a runner past first yet.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, Padilla with a 1 out single for the first UConn hit of the game, but it ends up being a scoreless inning. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Cal loads the bases with 2 out with 2 walks sandwiched around an infield error. Sullivan gets out of it with no runs scoring. No score.

Top 3rd, UConn offense goes down in order, no score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Too many easy outs for a team that doesn’t walk very much. The power is nice, but I’d like to see some Sundberg esque at bats.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Sullivan with 2 strikeouts as he puts down the side in order, no score. Sullivan is at 39 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, UConn offense with a scoreless inning after having a baserunner erased on a double play. No score.

Nice to have announcers, a score widget that works and a camera that follows the action. I feel spoiled. Well…one announcer, anyway.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, UConn offense goes down 1-2-3. 2-0 Cal.

 

[dbmill]

That was poke…

 

[dbmill]

S. Quigley strikes out his first 2 batters to get out of the 5th. 4-0 Cal.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, UConn gets 2 runners in scoring position with 1 out. Freeberger with an rbi ground out to make the score 4-1. Huber follows with a 2 out rbi double, 4-2 Cal. UConn leaves runners at the corners, still this inning was the first real scoring threat inning of the game for the Huskies.

 

[Bomber36]

The Albino Rhino comes through!

 

[Bomber36]

Oufa…that looked outside, but what do I know.

What a sports day by the way…I have watched Men’s Hoop, Women’s hoop men’s and women’s hockey and here I am now. (some at the same time) Life is good for us Uconn sports fans.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, S. Quigley with a quick 1-2-3 shutdown inning. Nice relief work so far for him. 4-2 Cal.

 

[dbmill]

By the way, Chris Jones has been talking about the tight strike zone for both teams this game.

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, UConn gets 2 runners in scoring position with 1 out, but nothing comes of it. 4-2 Cal.
