Chris Jones says the last UConn home run at Seton Hall was back in 2009 by George Springer. UConn has played 12 games at Seton Hall since that homer. Padilla now has something in common with Springer besides the uniform.

Bottom 6th, Stefanoni gives up 2 walks, but comes up with a scoreless inning with the aide of another double play.

Starting to turn lots of these. Very good sign going forward for this defense.

Yeah, that was something I had noticed as well. Considering they were not turning any at all earlier in the season, it is a significant improvement.

Top 7th, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense.

Bottom 7th, Stefanoni with a 1-2-3 inning. 13-2 UConn.

It is a beautiful thing when Stefanoni is in a groove and keeping our fielders busy.

Top 8th, Ryan Hyde gets an rbi ground out, his first rbi as a Husky. 14-2.

Bottom 9th, Jack Sullivan in to pitch for UConn.

Another weekend, another sweep for Penders and Company as UConn wins their 9th straight game! 6-0 start to Big East play!

Nice weekend and a well deserved day off tomorrow!

Great job HookC - we know the RPI is not going to be up to our usual level so we have to just win baby!

 

[huskymedic]

Pirates out-scored 24-10 across the series…

 

[huskypantz]

On a side note - current RPI 65. Number of teams with more wins that UConn - 2. Number of teams with more road wins than UConn - 1.

2nd hottest team in the northeast. Rutgers has won 14 straight, their RPI is 28, and 10-1 in the B1G. Wish they were on UConn’s schedule

Comparison came up in this week’s D1Baseball Top 25 Chat:

-> Rod: Rutgers now 25-6/8-1 in B10, leading a Power 5 in pitching, fielding and hitting. Presumably they are sitting outside top 25 since B10 has had a bit of a down year, but why does northeast neighbor UConn continue to get rewarded for a similarly soft schedule? (Without referencing RPI SOS which we all know is flawed)

Kendall Rogers: Rod — Good question. We discussed Rutgers for the Top 25 this week, but I definitely wouldn’t say its resume sniffs UCONN. UCONN has a win over Louisville (on the weekend), a road win over USC, a road series win over Pepperdine, who is decent this season. Rutgers’ marquee win so far? I’m trying to find it … and oh yeah, there’s a little series loss at Omaha. RU is damn good but clearly behind UCONN in the pecking order and resume wise <-

I agree they should be on our schedule for a H/H every year (or every other year) - BC makes it happen. I believe Penders has talked about trying to make it a reality in the past (they haven’t played each other in 7-8 years?).

Nothing that comes easy in South Orange according to Coach Penders. Perhaps Casey Dana may disagree.

Typo in your post. You said Stefanoni gave up two walks in one inning.

The typo is on your end, not on mine, it actually happened. The interesting thing is that Stefanoni has given up 9 walks on the year now, and 7 of them were in the last 2 games he pitched. Between those two games he gave up only one earned run in 15 innings, so despite the walks, they were quality starts, that's for sure, no question about it.
