Starting to exert our will.

Top 2nd, Xavier with a leadoff homer. One thing for sure, Xavier may not have a strong pitching staff, but they can certainly hit the ball with plenty of power to go with it. They are certainly in tune with their bandbox ballpark, which seems to be the exact opposite of Seton Hall's ballpark. 5-1 UConn.

Xavier with more traffic on the bases, a no out sac fly makes the score 5-2 going to the bottom of the 2nd.

For some reason, I have a feeling we’re gonna ride Kirby for a number of innings in this game…

Bottom 2nd, UConn goes down in order.

Top 3rd, with 2 outs and 2 runners on base, Stefanoni comes out of the game, Devin Kirby takes the mound. Kirby gets a ground ball from the first batter he faces to get out of the jam. 5-2 UConn.

That works…

Chris Jones has said more than once today that he thinks Xavier is a better team than Creighton. Whether you buy into that or not, there is no question Xavier can be quite dangerous, that's for sure.

Bottom 3rd, Donlan with a 1out solo homer, 6-2 UConn. UConn with more traffic on the bases, Padilla with a 1 out rbi single puts runners at the corners. 7-2 UConn.

Simmons with a 1 out bunt single brings in another run. Beautiful bunt. 8-2 UConn. Smith with an rbi hit, 9-2 UConn, 2 runners in scoring position with 1 out.

Garett Coe closes it out… Huskies take game 2 to even the series.

11-3 final.

Recognized the last name and looked him up, used to hang out with his mom and dad some back in the day. Apparently his younger brother Chandler Coe is a big time baseball pitching prospect.

Bottom 3rd, Dana walks to load the bases with 2 outs. Huber follows with a walk, 10-2 UConn. Donlan hit by a pitch, 11-2 UConn going to the top of the 4th.

Bullpen management is going to be interesting for both teams the rest of the way.

Chris Jones just announced the crowd at about 1300 today, largest of the season.

Xavier spent every pitcher they have on stealing Friday's game.
