>>Due to the forecast for late Friday night, the Huskies series opening contest against Wichita State Game has been moved to 6:05 PM with gates opening at 5:30 PM at Dunkin Donuts Park.

All tickets for the regularly scheduled game are still valid for the new time of 6:05 PM. If your ticket was previously printed with the 7:00 PM start time, it will still scan correctly and there is no need to exchange your tickets.<<

Feole, Kersten, Dunlop.

Colby over Jimmy. Interesting. Wonder if Wang is better suited to relief right now as opposed to starting since he has had trouble going 5 innings for a while now.

It is interesting. Of course, one has to remember that this has probably been the most lackluster starting staff UConn has had since I started following the team closely in 2010. Starting pitching has really been the biggest weakness of this season's team, which is a reversal of the normal situation where starting pitching is usually UConn's biggest strength. The ERA's of the starters are high by UConn standards, and the starters also generally don't go long into games in terms of innings.

Not sure if injuries have anything to do with it, but it sure looks like Penders is now restructuring the starting roles on this team. Joe Simeone just got a weekday starting spot over Kenny Haus, and now Colby Dunlop gets the nod over Jimmy Wang. Looks to me the coaching staff is kind of reorganizing the starters now that the bulk of the midweek games are over, and with the AAC tourney coming into view later in the month.

This weekend I won't be around for posting in game updates, got some family stuff to attend to.

>>Tickets for Saturday’s originally scheduled game will be valid for both games in the doubleheader.<<

 

[Pudge]

It’s the Feole answer

Penders states: if Mason pitches like the Ace we know he is, then everything follows. I’m happy with Kersten. He’s better. And Wang & Dunlop are advancing. Starting pitching would be .... great. With our Ace

I believe in you Octavius! We are 1-1 in games I have gone to (W 6-2 vs. Tulane, L ugly to Cincy).

Also I get you and HuskyHawk confused so I hope you are o.k. with a nickname.

 

[HawkHusky]

I'm gonna go tonight. We'll see how it goes...

Don't miss me too much!

Earlier time might make for a smaller initial crowd

ECU takes game one of the doubleheader with a 9-4 win over Cincinnati.

Feole walks first batter, gets a FO to left and then Langer mishandles hot shot third. Men on 1st and 2nd w/ one out

Edit - Feole strikes out next batter - 2 down.

Passed ball moves runners to 2nd and 3rd before Feole gets the K to end the inning.

Pitch count way up already.
