Gutsy win considering how bad they played. I suppose you get these kind of wins against these kind of teams in the Big East, but that's also the bad side of it is that you can't afford to lose too many of them or it's a killer.

Just a strange game all around. Was really perplexed at why Pender's would pinch hit Ferrer in the 9th with a righty pitching and Simmons a lefty due up. It worked out because of the error, if not that is a double play inning killer. Especially since Ferrer hasn't played in over a month and is a slower runner. Just thought it was a crazy time to put him back in to get his feet wet.

As you guys always say, that is baseball for you. Just a crazy day and a great win.

Wonder why FloSports is not streaming the game today? I sent them an email, but got an answer that was something like “because we’re not.”

I'm thinking it may be more of a decision with Butler athletics. It seems the home schools are the ones that actually produce the broadcasts, including providing announcers. FloSports just seems to pick up the games to stream.
 
Top 3rd, Simmons walks to bring in a run, 7-1 UConn, no outs. Padilla follows with a sac fly, 8-1 Huskies. Stock with a 2 out out rbi single to make it 9-1.

Good defense by Butler that inning to stop the damage from being even worse. The offense has woken up.
