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.
Thanks @dbmill. I was too wrapped up in the hockey game to try to watch both!

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…

If Daniels continues to produce when he gets a chance, I expect he will get more playing time as well. Coach Penders has shown this tendency in the past to play productive players.

RHP starting for FAU on Sunday (Del Prado). Wouldn't be surprised if Daniels is in the starting lineup as a DH.

“When call upon, have that slow heart beat and deliver”



All of UConn's runs were scored with 2 outs, not scoring before 2 outs gives the coaching staff agita, sound familiar? But they did come through. Offense limited the strikeouts as well.

Coach Penders says Daniels did a really nice job. A number of guys on the bench also deserving of some playing time as well according to Coach Penders, including Paul Tammaro who is having unbelievable practices. These bench guys just need to wait for their opportunity, and then do something with it when they get the chance.

Love seeing Daniels getting opportunity to start and bat 6th. Hope he takes advantage of this chance.

Go Huskies!!!!

Ryan Hyde seems to have become the personal catcher for Andrew Sears. Hyde has caught Sears every weekend so far.

With Simmons out of the lineup, that opens up a spot for additional experimentation with the lineup in getting playing time for bench players. Also helps that that both Freeberger and Smith are very flexible on where they can play out in the field.

Also, taking a weekend series on the first 2 days makes it a bit easier to experiment a bit with the lineup.

Top 1st, after the Freeberger homer, UConn gets 2 runners on base, but they are left on the corners. 2-0 UConn.

Strike zone is very small so far. If it stays that way there could be a lot of runs scored.

Nice first inning. Made their pitcher work. Where has this center field camera been the first two games? Anything reminding you of the 80's White Sox?
