UConn @ College of Charleston (Fri. 2/22 @ 4p, Sat 2/23 @ 2p & Sun. 2/24 @ 12p) @

Needed that. I'd feel a lot better with another run or 2.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hopefully Wallace doesn't have to pitch more than 1 inning. Runs would be HUGE here.

 

[HawkHusky]

Winkel with another lead off double.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Winkel leads off the 8th with a double, his third hit of the game. Pat Winkel pinch hitting for Longer.

 

[dbmill]

Hopefully Wallace doesn't have to pitch more than 1 inning.

Especially if UConn has to play a doubleheader tomorrow.

 

[HawkHusky]

Or was that the other Winkel??

 

[dbmill]

Pat Winkel strikes out on what Chris Jones says was a questionable pitch.

 

[HawkHusky]

Damn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Man, that's a bummer we couldn't push across a run there.

 

[dbmill]

Winkel stranded on second. Dandeneau stays in to start the bottom of the 8th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Lead off single for Charleston.

 

[dbmill]

Lead off batter on 1B, Wallace coming in to pitch for the four out save attempt. Chiovitti takes over in right field for Kyler Fedko.

 

[dbmill]

Wallace strikeout ends the 8th inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Great pitching by CJ today!

Wallace used 5 pitches to end the 8th. It'd be huge if he threw 22 or fewer pitches today.

6-4 UConn, top of the 9th.

 

[dbmill]

Prato picks up his third hit of the game, sending Woodworth (infield single) to third in the top of the 9th. One out.

 

[dbmill]

Toppa sac fly scores Woodworth. 7-4 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 9th, 1-2-3 inning for Wallace. Jake gets the save, UConn gets the 7-4 win! 13 pitches for Wallace, so he is good for an appearance tomorrow.

 

[HawkHusky]

Wallace hella efficient. Great pitching by all 3 guys today.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Really nice 9th inning. Our offense came out determined to get insurance, and that allowed Wallace to be comfortable and attack their hitters. Great win.

 

[BaseballDog]

3 wins , 3 saves for Wallace... At this rate the single season save record will be higher than 16 after this year.

Penders was not exactly thrilled with the effort tonight, and I don't blame him. Charleston is a good team that made mistakes of their own - I doubt they do that again tomorrow.

College of Charleston: Huskies Edge Cougars, 7-4

Mother Nature steps in tonight for the postgame sound effects:

Funny thing is, they moved the interview to the outfield to be away from the people, vehicles, and equipment taking care of the infield, something I don't recall them doing too much of in the past. So tonight, they get to compete with the wind that was giving Toppa all sorts of problems in left field.
