Bottom 4th, after the 2 out Morton homer, UConn offense puts runners on the corners. A run scores when Freeberger, the runner on 1B, gets caught in a run down while trying to steal 2B. 5-0 UConn.
 
Bottom 5th, UConn offense quickly goes down in order. 5-0 UConn.

Interesting. Georgetown has played 38 games. Six players have played in 37 or 38 and no one else has played in more than 20. Strange. Two of their top hitters (the only two over .306) have 14 HR's each.
 
Top 7th, a leadoff infield single, first baserunner of the game for Georgetown. Runner advances to 2B on a bad pickoff throw, and advances to 3B on a wild pitch with no out. Run scores on a ground out for the 2nd out. 5-1 UConn going to the bottom of the inning.

Sears at 86 pitches and now has 11 strikeouts on the game. Fogell was warming up that inning.

Chris Jones says T.C. Simmons might play this weekend, would be great to see him back.
 
I would start Sears in the top of the 8th and would replace him with Fogell or Afthim at the first sign of trouble.

Georgetown offense has 59 homers on the season. Ah, the joys of playing on a home field that is a band box.
 
Bottom 7th, a no out double steal puts 2 runners in scoring position. Huber drives in 2 runs with a no out double. 8-1 UConn.

Huber is shaken up on the play, so Drew Kron comes in to pinch run. Maddix Dalena will no doubt take over defensively at 1B.

Padilla with a 2 out RBI double, 9-1 UConn. Tammaro follows with a 2 run homer, 11-1 UConn. Pitching change.

Top 8th, defensive changes for UConn. Dalena at 1B, Kron at CF, Smith at LF. Huber and Morton out of the game.
 
Top 8th, Georgetown leads off the inning with 2 singles and a walk to load the bases. Sears comes out of the game, Nowak comes in to pitch.

Hoping UConn doesn't have to use any of their top people out of the bullpen with a 10 run lead late in the game, but we'll see what happens.

After a strikeout, a sac fly for the 2nd out brings in a run. 11-2 UConn. A 3 run homer makes it 11-5 UConn going to the bottom of the inning.

Sears- great confident game for him.
Huber - lower right leg injury( hope its minor)
 
Bottom 8th, UConn offense with no outs loads the bases with 2 walks and an infield error.

After a pitching change, Daniels pinch hits for Kron, which makes me think me might see Simmons play the outfield in the bottom of the inning. Daniels with a no out RBI single to drive in a run, 12-5 UConn. Huskies leave the bases loaded.

Top 9th, Simmons takes over in CF, and Braden Quinn comes in to pitch. Great to see Simmons playing again.

1) Sears is improving with every start and is probably our Friday starter now.
2) Welcome back, Mr. Quinn. He has the stuff to contribute. Is he this year's Devin Kirby, who started in low leverage situations halfway through last yr to becoming a stalwart down the stretch and into the tournaments?
3) Hope Huber is OK.

Quinn showed some promise last season. I believe the coaching staff liked his stuff, and figured he would play a notable role on the pitching staff this season. However, when the season started he did not show much in the way of controlling his stuff. At this point in the season, that may be changing a bit. Possibly another guy we may see more of as the season continues.

1) When Sears can change speeds for strikes he is tough to hit. That's the key. When I saw him live at Cal Berkley rain game he had today's type of stuff. He can dominate. Now is he going to be at this level every start? Of course not. But this is a guy who should be a quality weekend starter at D1 level. He was aggressive, worked with pace, and was in command.
2) Huber I thought it was a hammy originally then a walking boot so I don't know. Huber has been such a mainstay but Dalena will have to step up if needed.
3) Nice to see Simmons back in CF. Will be interesting how that plays out. Will he be a late-inning sub for defensive purposes? Will he start? He has no redshirt left and in any event, he played too many games so that's moot.
4) I was a tad surprised with the small ball early (Dom bunting etc.) when they have been playing such high-scoring games. But Penders had a hunch on the pitching. haha.
5) Bullpen is still WIP but if Quinn can emerge obviously that helps.
6) Uconn+ is a high-quality production.
