Top 9th, with 2 outs, Huber and Donlan both get on base with walks. Nothing comes of this attempt at a 2 out rally. Game tied at 2.

Bottom 9th, Afthim gets the first 2 outs on strikeouts, and then gives up a 2 out single. Brendan O'Donnell coming in to face a lefty hitter.

O'Donnell gets a fly out for the final out, game going to extra innings with the score tied at 2.

Top 10th, leading off the inning Smith is hit by a pitch, moves to 2B on a passed ball. A sac bunt attempt by Chris Brown puts runners at the corners with no outs when Northeastern tries to get the runner going to 3B. With 1 out, Stock is intentionally walked to load the bases. Simmons is hit by a pitch, UConn leads 3-2. Bushling drives in 2 runs with a single, 5-2 UConn.

Top 10th, a 1 out Huber walk loads the bases again for UConn. No more runs come in, but the damage has been done. 5-2 UConn.

Justin Willis in to pitch for UConn.

Penders mentioned Smith in the postgame. He was pretty angry during the game when it happened. Pretty calm coach but he was pissed at the time

No.15 HookC Rallies, Beats Northeastern in Extras, 5-2

  • UConn has won 11 in a row at Northeastern with the last loss coming in 1996.
  • The Huskies are 4-0 in extra inning games with all four ending in the 10th inning.
  • Tuesday was the second time that the Huskies won this season when trailing entering the seventh. <-

For fans, a win wire to wire alleviates stress. For a team, constructing different ways of winning games builds on a winning mentality and a never say die attitude. Even though, we have struggled over the last four games, we have gone 3 and 1 with a major facet not functioning well. This bodes well for tournament time.

Coach Penders says they didn't play UConn Husky baseball for the first 6 innings. The David Smith play of not running to 1B on the strikeout is held out as a prime example by Penders.

Penders also gave a mention to Devin Kirby's inning. That's the second game in a row he has had a good pitching outing in a tight game. I wonder if we will be seeing more of Kirby in similar situations, it wouldn't surprise me if we do.
