Top 1st, Freeberger with a 1 out 2 run homer, 2-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, after getting the first 2 batters out, Sears strands 2 runners in scoring position. 2-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Love Sears - the slider can be a strikeout pitch, and the dude pumps in strikes & works fast.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Great at bat by Hyde drawing that walk, laying off 2 tempting sliders.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, Dalena with a leadoff single and the next batter Hyde follows with a walk. Nothing comes of it, UConn offense hits into another double play. 2-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

UConn's philosophy to avoid sacrifice bunt attempts is one I agree with, especially in early innings. Unfortunately, it probably backfired there.

Both pitchers are continuing to get squeezed early.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Even the FAU announcers are complaining about the ridiculously small strike zone for Sears. Just unreal. Bases loaded, 2 outs for FAU.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Sears gives up 2 walks and a hit by pitch to load the bases with 2 outs. Sears walks in a run to make it 2-1 UConn. Another walk ties the game at 2 going to the top of the 3rd..

 

[uconnbaseball]

The last 2 walks were legit - Sears has lost his composure after he should have been out of this inning already.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Mercifully the inning is over with 2 runs across. Tie game going into the 3rd.

The strikezone has been small for both teams - I'd like to see more patient at bats, like the one Hyde had last inning.

 

[Bomber36]

Rough inning.

 

[huskymedic]

Man… every week I wish Coach Mac was mic’d up for our listening enjoyment but then I realize that the FCC would not share our enthusiasm.

 

[dbmill]

MIXLR went off the air for a little bit in the bottom of the second inning, it is back now.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, UConn offense with a scoreless inning, game tied at 2.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Sears strikes out the first batter, then Tom Ellisen comes in to pitch.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones suggesting that Devin Kirby might be available to pitch again after this weekend games are over.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Ellisen gets 2 quick outs to end the inning, game tied at 2.

Chris Jones saying that UConn has a lot of guys available to pitch out of the bullpen today.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, UConn loads the bases with nobody out on walks and a hit by pitch. Smith with an rbi single, 3-2 with no out and the bases still loaded. Morton with a sac fly, 4-2 UConn. A 2 out Huber double drives in 2 more runs to make it 6-2 UConn. After a pitching change, Studley follows with a rbi single, 7-2 UConn.

Nice inning!

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, after a leadoff single, UConn gets an odd double play. Ellisen faces the minimum, 7-2 UConn.

 

[Skiblets]

Man that announcer is lifeless

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, UConn offense goes down in order, 7-2 UConn.
