Awesome Chris Farley GIF
 
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.

-> Game Notes
  • The comeback in the ninth was the first for UConn since coming back to beat Coastal Carolina, 5-4, in 12 innings on March 7, 2021.
  • The Huskies scored three runs in the ninth inning to send the game to extras for the first time since 2017 when Jack Sundberg hit a bases-clearing double to tie the game against Houston (5/5/2017).
  • UConn is 5-0 in extra-innings and has won all five games in the 10th inning.
  • The Huskies are 11-0 in weekend openers this season.
  • UConn is 9-3 in one-run games this season.
  • Justin Willis tied Caleb Wurster for ninth all-time with 12 career saves. <-

Top 1st, Smith with a leadoff double, Stock with a single to put runners at the corners, and Dana with an rbi single to make it 1-0 UConn with no outs and 2 runners on. Bushling follows with an rbi single, 2-0 UConn with no outs. Infield error on a Huber batted ball brings in 2 more runs to make it 4-0 UConn.

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.
