Penders needs to pull them aside and send a statement to them. They seem to be sleepwalking. Mental mistakes already.

Top 3rd, Bushling with a leadoff double, Smith follows with a no out rbi double to make the score 3-2. Stock with a no out rbi single to tie the game at 3, he moves to 2B on the throw.

If we get swept, and don’t win the BE tourney, we risk NCAA selection, especially if other league tourneys yield surprise champions. This could get ugly.

We're losing by 1 run in the 3rd inning of game 2, relax with the sweep talk.

Edit: And already tied barely after I hit send

Top 3rd, Huber with a sac fly, UConn now up 4-3.

Donlan with a 2 out double, but nothing more comes of it. Chris Jones says UConn has already matched its hit total from last night. Already have several doubles, always nice to see from them.

 

[dbmill]

So Bush started at leadoff, dropped down, stayed at clean up for a while, dropped down and now is 9 spot. Amazing the ups and downs of a season.

I expect players to move up and down the lineup due to performance during the course of the season, but have to admit, Bushling has been all over the place in the lineup, that's for sure. Don't see too many guys batting leadoff, cleanup, and in the 9 spot all in one season.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Gallagher with a 1-2-3 inning. Gallagher at 54 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Padilla with a 1 out double, but he is stranded. 4-3 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, a one out double and single puts runners at the corners. Gallagher gets 2 strikeouts to get out of the jam. Gallagher now has 5 strikeouts on the game, and he is at 65 pitches. 4-3 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Casey Dana with a 1 out solo homer, 5-3 UConn.

Always loved Warner Brothers cartoons, but especially Bugs Bunny.

Bottom 5th, a 1 out solo homer for Georgetown, 5-4. After a 2 out single, Gallagher gets out of the inning with no further damage.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, UConn goes down in order. 5-4 Huskies.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, with 1 out, Gallagher gives up back to back walks. Gallagher coming out, Brady Afthim coming in to pitch. Afthim gives up a 2 out walk, then gives up a grand slam, 8-5 Georgetown.

Coach Mac’s head has to be ready to explode

 

[Bomber36]

Lordy.

 

[dbmill]

Coach Mac’s head has to be ready to explode

Yup, with all the walks leading up to the homer.

Bottom 6th, O'Donnell in to pitch. O'Donnell having problems throwing strikes, walks the first batter he faces, then gets a strikeout to end the inning.

​

 

[ATLDYKA]

Walks, Walks, Walks, the things we didn't do most of the season are starting to catch up.

 

[Tmill15]

Coach Mac’s head has to be ready to explode

I said the same thing to myself. He’s probably livid with his pitchers

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, Smith singles, steals 2B, and eventually scores on a 2 out Dana rbi single. 8-6 Georgetown.

Bottom 7th, Devin Kirby takes the mound for UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, a 2 out rbi single brings in 2 runs for Georgetown. 10-6 Hoyas.

It's more than just the walks, UConn pitching has not been sharp at all so far this series with all the hits given up as well. Playing in this bandbox sure doesn't help as well, as Peterson can attest to last night. But it is something both sides have to face.

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, with 1 out and the bases loaded, Kevin Ferrer pinch hits for Bushling. Wild pitch brings in a run, 10-7. Ferrer with a sac fly to make the score 10-8.

As expected. Brown takes over at 3B. Garrett Coe warming in the bullpen.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Kirby gives up a leadoff homer. 11-8 Georgetown. Another solo homer with 2 outs, 12-8.

One thing for sure, Georgetown certainly takes advantage of playing in this bandbox of a ballpark. I don't think UConn has played in such a small ballpark all season, it certainly seems to have affected their pitching crew so far this series.

 

[Viet Vet]

Adapt, or perish.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, with 1 out, UConn loads the bases. Morton walks to make the score 12-9. Pitching change. Simmons walks, 12-10 Georgetown. With 2 outs Garbowski pinch hits for Brown, and clears the bases with a double, 13-12 UConn.

Chris Jones has been talking most of the game about the ever changing strike zone for both teams. No consistency at all.

 

[huskymedic]

Garbo adapting!!!

 

[Tmill15]

BASES CLEARING DOUBLE MATT GARBOWSKI!!!!!! UNBELIEVABLE!!!!!
