Had to miss the second half of the game due to Finals. Damn it!!! CMo has really done work these past few weeks. Great team chemistry and a helluva coaching job with all the injuries.

Five-Run Eighth Propels No. 18 UConn to Win at Northeastern

Notes:

• Wednesday's comeback was the third time this season that the Huskies came from behind to win when they trailed entering the eighth inning.

• P.J. Poulin has thrown 8.1 consecutive scoreless innings after tossing 1.1 scoreless innings on Wednesday to lock down his 13th save of the year.

• Poulin is tied for second in single- season history with 13 saves. John Russell set the record with 14 saves in 2017.

• The Huskies have won the last two games in Brookline when trailing going into the eighth inning. The Huskies trailed 8-3 heading into the eighth inning in 2016 and came back to win 9-8. UConn hasn't lost to Northeastern in Brookline since 1996 (9-0).

Off hand I would say a 10-5 record (an easy 2:1 ratio) against the RPI top 50 would be very good for a team from anywhere, and not just from the North. I did a very quick look off the Warren Nolan website, and found that there are about 7 teams that have such a 2:1 ratio, and not all of them have 10 wins. I could be wrong by a team or two, but UConn is in excellent shape in this metric.

Cincinnati's RPI is now 100 so that'll help the resume if they stay there
