Men #15 UConn v. Creighton Bluejays @ Elliott Ballpark (Fri. 5/6/22 @3:05p, Sat. 5/7/22 @1:05p on CW20 & Sun. 5/8/22 @11:05a)

Got to feel for that Creighton pitcher. He should have been out of that inning with about only 7 pitches thrown.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, Stefanoni with a scoreless inning.

This team is so dangerous with two outs. It’s almost like they’re thinking “OK now we have them where we want them. Let’s go score some runs.”

That's college baseball for you, even teams that are known to be fundamentally sound can have their problems and mistakes that stack on each other, and that certainly happened to Creighton that inning.

Bottom 3rd, UConn offense goes down in order. 4-0 Huskies.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Stefanoni with a scoreless inning after giving up a 1 out walk, gets a strikeout to end the inning. He is at 53 pitches.

Creighton pitcher losing control of the zone here. Let’s put the final dagger in this series right here.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense after two UConn hitters reached base on walks. 4-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Creighton pitcher losing control of the zone here. Let’s put the final dagger in this series right here.

Creighton pitcher has thrown 78 pitches in 4 innings, have to figure he won't be around too much longer.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, 2 Creighton singles followed by a 2 out rbi double. 4-1 UConn. A single drives in 2 more runs, 4-3 UConn. A 2 run homer gives Creighton a 5-4 lead. Pitching change, Jack Sullivan takes the mound for UConn.

Every hit this inning has been off the fastball. Not sure why they went away from the off speed stuff as Creighton has been sitting on Enzo's fastball.

It’s unrealistic to think that UConn would sweep every series but this team seems to find a way. They need to continue to be challenged.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, a single followed by a fly out ends the inning. 5-4 Blue Jays.

A little adversity could help.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, UConn offense goes down in order. Creighton starting pitcher now at 100 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Darn, lost power at our house.

 

[huskymedic]

Strands runner @ 3rd:

 

[huskymedic]

After Donlan singles w 1 out - Creighton goes to the bullpen for Hammond w/ Padilla coming to bat.

Padilla flies out to Center.

Donlan steals second and TC Simmons w/ a two out RBI double to tie the game. Blue Jay closer Steier coming in.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bullpen management without Willis will be fascinating today.

 

[dbmill]

Bullpen management without Willis will be fascinating today.

Figure that Afthim will function as the closer today if UConn is ahead late.

 

[huskymedic]

Stock w/ lead off single and Huber HBP w/ two outs but go ahead run stranded @ 3rd.

 

[huskymedic]

Devin Kirby back to the mound for the T8.

1-2-3 inning.

 

[Tmill15]

Huge outs from Kirby!!!

Devin Kirby back to the mound for the T8.

1-2-3 inning.

 

[huskymedic]

UConn has runners @ 1st and 3rd w/ no outs to start the B9

David Smith sac fly w/ one out puts Huskies up 6-5.
