Both teams get to play on same field. 11-2 in homers. Unbelievable how well they have hit our pitching the last 2 days. They have all struggled. Let's turn it around today.
 
Hopefully Enzo and the boys come out firing on all cylinders and Georgetown comes back down to earth today after clinching their spot in the BE Tourney:

-> • As Kendall Rogers wrote yesterday, Georgetown has been one of college baseball’s great (and unexpected) turnaround stories, and the Hoyas followed up Thursday’s win against Big East power Connecticut by clinching the series with a wild 14-13 win Friday. The Huskies scored five runs in the ninth to send the game into extra innings, but Nolan Matsko delivered a walk-off RBI double in the 10th for the Hoyas. Could 16th-ranked UConn be slipping onto the bubble? The Huskies already clinched the Big East title, but they’re just 45th in the RPI and have lost four of their last seven games. They need to rebound and play well in the conference tournament to generate some momentum heading into Selection Monday. <-

No question that the Georgetown bats are a good fit for their small ballpark, they can flat out hit and hit with power. I mentioned it during the game last night, but I'm inclined to think that UConn's pitching has been thrown off its rhythm partly due to the small size of the ballpark. As mentioned before, with the various tournaments coming up, the UConn pitching staff (actually, the whole team) needs to show that they can adapt to all sorts of different types of ballparks, large and small, in addition to different styles of play. Who knows what you will see during the NCAA Tournament.

Epic background noise…

Epic background noise indeed, starts with loud music before other stuff joins in.

As Coach Penders says, it's not just the pitching that is having problems against Georgetown this weekend. Other things help add up to losing games as well.
 
Chris Jones says that before this series the last time UConn lost a weekend series was against Texas Tech last year.

Top 1st, Smith with a leadoff single and Stock with a double off the center field wall to put 2 runners in scoring position. Casey Dana with a sac fly, 1-0 UConn. 2 walks load the bases for UConn with 2 outs, but they are stranded. Georgetown starting pitcher Willis threw 37 pitches that inning.

Bottom 1st, Stefanoni with a scoreless inning after a 2 out single.
 
Chris Jones says x-rays on Austin Peterson's foot were negative, but he is not sure if Peterson will pitch on Thursday.

Best things I’ve heard all day, that’s very good news. Having Gallagher and Enzo is great if Austin has to rest a few days
 
Top 2nd, pitching change. UConn loads the bases on 2 hit by pitches and a Smith single with no outs, but nothing comes of it. 1-0 UConn.
 
.-.
Bottom 2nd, Stefanoni with a scoreless inning with 2 strikeouts, 3 on the game. Stefanoni at 30 pitches.
 
Chris Jones says that Garbowski can swing the bat, but his right arm is still giving him some problems, which lessons the probability of him catching.
 
Top 3rd, UConn loads the bases with agains with 2 outs, everyone reaching on a hit by pitch and walks. Another Georgetown pitching change. A balk brings in a run, 2-0 UConn. Smith is hit by a pitch to load the bases again, but that's where the inning ends.

Bottom 3rd, Georgetown again with a 2 out solo homer. 2-1 UConn going to the top of the 4th.

Xavier has 86 homers through 55 games. And we thought UConn hit a fair amount of homers. Fair to say that both Xavier and Georgetown have built their teams around their offensive minded ballparks, nothing wrong with that.

Morton looked safe to me but that bunt wasn’t pushed far enough towards the mound to make that effective

Chris Jones said the same thing. Saw the replay, and I'm inclined to think Morton was safe at the plate as well, but as you say the bunt certainly needs to be better placed in that situation.
