Men #16 UConn @ Georgetown Hoyas @Shirley Povich Field (Thurs. 5/19/22 @6p, Fri. 5/20/22 @6p & Sat. 5/21/22 @Noon). Streamed on HoyaVision/Mixlr

Bottom 9th, Justin Willis takes the mound. Christian Fedko takes over at 3B,

 

[dbmill]

Garbo adapting!!!

Now the pitching needs to adapt a bit, it's just a tough place to pitch.

As proof, Georgetown with a leadoff solo homer to tie the game at 13.

 

[Viet Vet]

OKAY, bullpen........git r dun.

 

[Viet Vet]

Are you kidding me??????

 

[lavuuk153]

We’ve definitely been spoiled with our recent string of closers.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Georgetown's offense is pretty good, but not normally close to this good...even at home. That's twice now they have scored 13+ runs on us. Something's going on besides the small park that is causing this. I wonder if the tipped pitch theory might be valid after all.

Tend to doubt it. Maybe for a pitcher or two, but not a whole staff.

Bottom 9th, after the homer ties the game, Willis gets through the rest of the inning to send the game to extra innings. Willis picks off a runner at 1B to end the inning.

Is this Little League?

No, it's college baseball as we know it. Literally anything might happen. You certainly don't find perfectly played baseball in the college game.

I agree that's probably not it, but this series has been strange. Nothing they have done up to this point would indicate that they were capable of crushing Peterson and doing fairly well vs Gallagher...even in a bandbox. Maybe we'll throw a no hitter tomorrow, who knows.

13-13. Football, lacrosse or rugby?

I’m very proud of this team, but the last 2 games have been head scratchers.

Center field is 375 feet, I believe. Dimensions are rather short, to say the least.

 

[dbmill]

Top 10th, UConn leaves runners on the corners.

It will be interesting to see how long Willis stays in this game, assuming it goes a few more innings.

for both teams

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 10th, a walk off rbi double, Georgetown wins the game and the series.

 

[Tmill15]

Just an utterly painful loss

… and makes the Big East Tourney as #4.

We will see the Hoyas again

 

[Bomber36]

Brutal night.

 

[Skiblets]

Putting at large at risk

The question is how well Georgetown hits in the Big East tourney in a more normal ballpark. Don't know if they hit like this on the road as well, but it should be interesting to see.

 

[Viet Vet]

Putting at large at risk

Agreed. Better win BE tourney. Win tomorrow, and we should be a lock for at-large. Otherwise.........??????

 

[Viet Vet]

27 runs given up in two games?

 

[huskymedic]

 

[dbmill]

Just watched the interview from yesterday. Coach Penders pretty much says, bandbox or not, Georgetown can certainly hit the ball and hard.

 

[huskymedic]

We will see the Hoyas again

They were playing for their conference post-season life:

 

[huskymedic]

Epic background noise…

 

[freescooter]

Putting at large at risk

I agree. Awful time to hit a losing streak.
