Bottom 3rd, S. Quigley retires the side in order. 1-0 UConn. Quigley with 3 strikeouts and has thrown 43 pitches on the game so far.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, UConn offense with a scoreless inning after a baserunner is retired on a double play ball. 1-0 UConn

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, S. Quigley with a 1-2-3 inning, 1-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense ends on another double play. 1-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, S. Quigley with another 1-2-3 inning, he has not given up a hit yet. 1-0 UConn.

Someone please give the screaming kid some peanuts and cracker jacks - I beg ya!!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Walking Morton to get to freeberger? Ok then!

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Brini with a leadoff single for his first hit in a UConn uniform, advances to 2B on a no out wild pitch. Morton gets a 1 out intentional walk, and an infield error loads the bases with 1 out. A Huber double play ends the inning with no runs coming in. 1-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Sigh…have to score there. Leaving Quigley out to dry.

FAU’s shortstop is really hard to watch.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Quigley faces the minimum! Onto the 7th

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, S. Quigley gives up the first hit off of him, but faces the minimum when the next hitter grounds into a double play to end the inning. 1-0 UConn. Quigley is at 80 pitches, he has been terrific, and is probably cementing his role as a weekend starter.

We have grounded into a lot of DP's this weekend. Inning killers. But I guess at least they are making contact.

A lot of hard contact today. I have been a major critic of this offense, but today is more bad luck apart from Huber’s disappointing double play (he kind of atoned for it with the glove in the bottom half of the inning).

Think Daniels is gonna get more playing time…

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, with 2 outs Daniels pinch hits for Broadhurst and gets a double. Pitching change, bringing in a lefty to face Garbowski. Garbowski with a single to drive in a run, 2-0 UConn going to the bottom of the 7th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hahaha of course that is a hit for Garbo while his first two at bats resulted in outs. Baseball, you sly devil.

Yup, first 2 at bats Garbowski hit the ball hard for outs, and that one was a bloop single. Yup, that's baseball for you. Keep making contact.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, a 2 out rbi single with 2 runners on base, runners now at the corners. 2-1 UConn the score. S. Quigley coming out of the game. Will Nowak takes the mound.

Yes with as hard as he seems to hit the ball every at bat he has had, need to find a way to get his bat in lineup.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Nowak throws out a baserunner trying to steal 2B to end the inning. 2-1 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, Smith with a leadoff double. Pitching change. 2 walks load the bases with 2 outs. Padilla clears the bases with a double, 5-1 UConn going to the bottom of the 8th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

The return of 2 out clutch hitting!

 

[dbmill]

The return of 2 out clutch hitting!

Also, the return of amenities!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Nowak strands a runner at 3B for a scoreless inning. 5-1 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense. 5-1 UConn.

Braden Quinn takes the mound to start the bottom of the 9th. FAU has a string of lefty hitters coming up. I believe Chris Jones said that Willis is warming up in the pen.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 9th, a leadoff triple off of Quinn. Justin Willis coming in to pitch.

Willis first pitch hits the first batter he faces, putting runners at the corners. Willis strikes out the next 3 batters to end the game, UConn wins 5-1. UConn with the weekend series win, the first one it has gotten this season.
