Helps when you stop making errors in the field and make a few good plays in the field instead. None of the 4 North Florida runs are earned.

Chris Jones says outfielder Zach Stephenson made this trip in place of freshman pitcher Tom Ellisen. Stephenson came off a suspension for violating team rules.

Bottom 8th, Cooke gives up a run off a couple of hits to make it 11-5 UConn going to the top of the 9th.

Freshman Jack Sullivan was warming up in the bullpen towards the end of that inning.

I love Ian’s strategy of throwing strikes. He gave up a couple hits and a run but forced them to earn everything in a game that is still a blowout.

11-5, top 9.

I would say it is more of an ability to throw strikes rather than a strategy. Many young pitchers just can't do that consistently. Bobby McBride is certainly an example of having control problems on the UConn pitching staff.

Top 9th, UConn goes down in order. Ian Cooke takes the mound to start the bottom of the 9th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 9th, Ian Cooke with a scoreless inning after giving up a leadoff single. Cooke gets a 3 inning save, UConn with the 11-5 win!!

Nice job by Peterson & Cooke! Keep the bullpen full.

1 walk given up by the UConn pitching staff tonight. Cooke is probably done for the weekend, but the rest of the bullpen is rested.

 

[UConNick]

Well that turned out great. I regret to say the only part of the game I actually followed live was the bottom of the 2nd

Guess we’ll have to see how tomorrow goes. May be a sad day of not watching baseball if the mojo demands it.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Even after the leadoff single, I wasn't concerned. Cooke was pumping in the strikes.

Take care of business tomorrow.

Austin Peterson through two games — 23 strikeouts and 1 walk. `That’s remarkable.

Very good job by Austin and Cooke. I believe Cooke started out 3-0 on the first batter that he faced and battled back.

Although the defense was shaky at times, the baserunning looked pretty good. Huber and Dana showed good baserunning in the fifth.

That sort of thing just doesn't happen too much in baseball, especially college baseball.

Austin Peterson through two games — 23 strikeouts and 1 walk. `That’s remarkable.

Here's another remarkable stat. The opposition against Austin Peterson has scored 6 runs in 11.2 innings, but only 1 of those runs have been earned. Peterson in two games has a 0.77 ERA. I'll take that.

 

[dbmill]

Always look forward to these postgame interviews. Coach Penders admits that the defensive play needs to improve, but does point out that UConn played much better in the field after all the misplays in the bottom of the 2nd inning.

Coach Penders can't remember the last time in a game where UConn pitching did not give up a walk or hit a batter, but it happened last night.

Little jiggling in the infield/outfield:

 

[scotty0330]

Like it. Brown has been struggling all over the field. Garbo and donlan alternate and TC as @dbmill pointed out is back against a righty.
