I would give someone other than Fogell / Willis / Afthim the ball here with a relatively comfortable lead, but go to Fogell quickly in case of trouble. Maybe Dom?

Tom back out there and records a quick out. That works too.
 
Bottom 8th, after a 1 out single, Ellisen comes out of the game (nice job). Devin Kirby takes the mound.
 
Kirby's ERA isn't pretty (just under 5), but the underlying metrics suggest he might be a solid midinning guy. In 34 innings pitched, he has 35 strikeouts and only 7 walks. I trust Fogell, Afthim and Willis more, but I can see why Penders trusts him.

Last yr he was lights out for a while while giving us multiple innings. When he has a bad outing, it isn't pretty. He is a key multi inning piece moving forward with Ellison.
 
Top 9th, with 2 out, Daniels pinch hits for Hyde, UConn offense goes down in order. Garbowski comes in at the catcher spot. 7-3 UConn.
 
Penders won't be happy with 10 strikeouts against some underwhelming pitching.
 
Kirby gives up two singles to start the inning (one seeing-eye, one line drive). UConn immediately turns a double play afterwards. Kirby pitching to contact, which is a good strategy up by 4 runs.

Dalena with a great catch to secure the win!
 
Bottom 9th, Villanova gets the first 2 batters on base with singles. Kirby gets a double play and a pop out, a great catch by Dalena. UConn gets the 7-3 win.
 
Simmons walks, and Freeberger cashes him in with an RBI double to give UConn a 1-0 lead.

UConn's offense has been good all year but often doesn't do much in the first inning for some reason. It's nice to see a good start today.
 
I love recruiting D-3 transfers. Broadhurst, Studley, Tammaro etc are studs.
 
Top 1st, Broadhurst flies out, and Studley attempts to tag up, but leaves 2B too early. 2-0 UConn.

It is not raining at the moment. From what I saw on the radar, it looks like they should get this game in. Tomorrow is another question, but getting 2 games in is certainly better then none.
 
Nice start for Quigley, as he notches a scoreless inning with two strikeouts.
 
Top 2nd, Padilla with a leadoff double. Dalena lines out into a double play as UConn has the minimum 3 batters come up that inning. 2-0 UConn.
 
It was said on the FloSports broadcast but Xavier lost to Seton Hall for the second straight game. Significant implications for the Huskies
 
Quiggers with a very quick response. Jones sounds very impressed on the radio.
