UConn v. UMass (Friday 4/2/21 @ 3p, Saturday 4/3/21 Doubleheader beginning @ Noon). All games on Husky All-Access. WHUS-FM on Friday/MIXLR on Saturday

That’s absurd to be a D1 program and only have 2 scholarships to offer. It’s gotta be tough as a coach to get top notch kids from the northeast with limited abilities to give scholarships

True, but in my mind it helps explain the general low level of UMass baseball, even for the New England region. URI is in the same conference, but the Rams always seem to field a fairly competitive team. Playing the Rams is not an RPI killer, and I don't mind having them on the schedule at all. I have no idea how many scholarships the Rams have available.

Bottom 2nd, Chris Winkel with a 1 out rbi single. 1-0 UConn.

Top 3rd, Simeone with a walk and 3 strikeouts for a scoreless inning. He is at 62 pitches on the game, so he won't be along for long even if he does have another good inning. 6 strikeouts on the day for Simeone.

Bottom 3rd, UConn goes down in order.

Top 4th, Simeone strands a runner at 2nd after a lead off single. 1-0 UConn. 7 strikeouts on the day for Simeone. 73 pitches on the day for Simeone, can he actually make it through the 5th?

I’ll take ‘em anyway they come.

Brown clears the bases with a 1 out double. 6-0 UConn. Nice work from the bottom of the order again.

Nice job Brown!

Kyler Fedko double makes it 7-0 with two outs in the 4th.

Brown proving his worth and making himself a regular as a freshman which is very impressive

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones says Simeone had gone down to the bullpen to warm up during that long inning. So he comes out of the pen to start the top of the 5th on the mound.

No question Brown has won the 3B job at this point. His offensive production, including getting consistently on base, has really kicked up of late. What I find impressive is that he got virtually no mentions in interviews with coaches or on UConn baseball twitter either last season or in the fall ball season, but took over the job anyway.

Top 5th, 1-2-3 inning for Simeone! By far his best performance of the season. 82 pitches on the game. Does he take the mound for the 6th?

 

[Pudge]

too much work on my part ... I've tried intermittently to remember the name of the last 3rd basemen morning. Good glove but couldn't hit Mendoza. West Springfield HS. hmmm

Conor Moriarty is the name you're looking for.

Chris Jones is anticipating a staff day for the Bryant game on Tuesday, as Gallagher will be shifted to starting on the weekend. The funny thing is, at this point Bryant is probably a tougher team than Georgetown.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, scoreless inning for the UConn offense. Top 6th, the day is over for Simeone, Kenny Haus out of the bullpen to start the inning. I'm so used to Haus pitching on Friday in relief of Casparius.

Bryant is a perennial powerhouse in the NEC and currently undefeated in their conference play right now. They’ve had some good MLB players over the years and will be a good test

Bryant always has a quality team. No surprise that they have two midweek games scheduled with UConn this season.
