My wife and I have been making an annual donation to UConn Athletics since about 1997. Nothing all that big (nothing that required a comma in the dollar figure), but over the years it all adds up. At some point we started to target the donations to the new soccer and baseball facilities.

Whatever the case, because of our donations over the years, we have been invited by UConn Athletics to attend the Elliot Ballpark Dedication and the reception before the Dedication, as well as the game on Saturday. Can't pass up something like this, so we will be in Storrs for a good chunk of Saturday. As such, I won't be posting inning by inning updates that day like I usually do (I think my wife would kill me if I spent the whole game that I was atttending looking at my phone).

Top 1st, Peterson with a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, UConn puts 2 runners on base with 1 out, but they are stranded. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, Bushling with an infield error followed by a 1 out 2 run homer for Xavier. 2-0 Xavier.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, UConn goes down in order.

 

[ATLDYKA]

3 first pitch swinging outs already. Hate when we are this aggressive and don't make other pitcher work.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Peterson with a quick 1-2-3 inning, 2-0 Xavier. Peterson is at 38 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, UConn with 2 runners on base with no outs. Xavier pitching change, they use an opener strategy, so their starting pitcher coming out this early is nothing new.

Xavier gets out of the inning with the help of a line drive double play. 2-0 Xavier.

 

[ATLDYKA]

3 first pitch swinging outs already. Hate when we are this aggressive and don't make other pitcher work.

Gotta put up 0's and hope the offense wakes up with runners on base. Line drive was unlucky.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, a no out solo homer. 3-0 Xavier.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Gotta say, Xavier playing with a lot more fire than we are right now. We better wake up.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Gotta put up 0's and hope the offense wakes up with runners on base. Line drive was unlucky.

Need to be more disciplined. That is 2 games in a row now. With no outs it's bad base running.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, a strikeout and throw out the base stealer by Donlan ends the inning.

 

[CL82]

Let’s get some back.
