Men #16 UConn @ Bryant University Bulldogs @ Conaty Park (Tuesday May 17 @ 3p) Game on NEC Front Row/Mixlr

Bottom 6th, Chudoba gives up leadoff walk. Pitching change, Brendan O'Donnell taking the mound. A walk and a error on a fly ball by Casey Dana in right field loads the bases with no outs. Another pitching change, Jack Sullivan coming in to pitch.

Sullivan hits the first batter, bringing in a run. 7-1. Sac fly makes it 7-2, runners on the corners.

Coach MacDonald went out to talk with O’Donnell and it looked like he was rather angry with the lefty

Bet Coach Mac doesn’t tell his Mom it was a bouquet of positive reinforcement…

Chris Jones says Huber has another year of eligibility if he doesn't get drafted or go pro.

He is coming back if he isn't drafted.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Sullivan gets out of the inning leaving the bases loaded and no further scoring. 7-2 UConn.

 

[Tmill15]

Very questionable zone from the umpire that inning but the walks and hit by pitches from O’Donnell and Sullivan didn’t help

 

[dbmill]

He is coming back if he isn't drafted.

Eligible players that don't get drafted are considered free agents, and occasionally are offered contracts and get signed by MLB organizations. With the MLB cutting back on number of minor league teams, I would consider this less likely to happen, but it is a possibility.

Nick Krauth was the last UConn player not to get drafted but got offered a contract to go pro, which he did after the shortened 2020 season.

 

[UConntLose]

He is having the time of his life at UConn. It will take a lot for him to leave if he isn't drafted.

Top 7th, UConn offense with a scoreless inning. 7-2 UConn.

Bottom 7th, Sullivan leaves a couple runners on base. 7-2 UConn.

Top 8th, UConn offense leaves a couple runners on base.

Coe and Kirby have had their names called quite a bit the last few weeks. Not watching the game, if the lineup is more right handed, I am surprised not to see Athim get the nod.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Coe with an easy 1-2-3 inning. 7-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, Smith with a 1 out rbi triple scoring Simmons who had reached base on an infield single. 8-2 UConn. Wild pitch brings in another run, 9-2 UConn.

 

[huskymedic]

Smitty seeing the ball very well…

 

[uconnbaseball]

Looks like we can go to Wang if we want.

 

[Tmill15]

Smith getting hot at the right time! Gotta love it

 

[dbmill]

Looks like we can go to Wang if we want.

I certainly wouldn't mind that, we'll see what happens. I wouldn't mind Quinn getting some mound action either.

Bottom 9th, Coe on the mound.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 9th, Coe with a scoreless inning, UConn with the 9-2 victory over Bryant.

Nice agita free afternoon… onto the Hoyas.

Good win. Back to target for New England?

Referring to the other thread, I believe we have an 11-3 record against other New England schools with todays win over Bryant

Yes, I misspoke. I meant back to target in @ucjoet’s thread. 11-3 was his target #

 

[Viet Vet]

Should we go at least 2-1 this weekend over Georgetown, a 2 seed should be a given. If not, the committee will betray its anti-northeastern bias. Imagine going 6-18 in ANY league (a la Texas A&M in softball) and getting an NCAA bid!
