Huskies In Hartford: Anthony Prato Has His Mind On The Game for UConn

>>“It’s the biggest series of the year,” Prato said. “We’re going to be playing in front of all those fans, and I can’t wait. It’s amazing. Just the fans getting into it, being behind us - something we don’t usually have - so we all feed off it. … I’m sure they love coming to watch us play, we have to back it up.”<<

>>UConn is tied with East Carolina and South Florida at 11-7 in AAC play. Houston (14-7) has one series left. The Huskies will send Mason Feole (7-1, 2.44) to the mound Friday, followed by Jeff Kersten (4-1, 3.52) on Saturday. Penders said No.1 pitcher Tim Cate, who has been out with a sore forearm, could return to the mound in a relief role Sunday, which would be a huge boost with the postseason looming.<<

Lots of good stuff on Anthony Prato and on how well regarded he is by Coach Penders and the staff. For instance:

>>“He’s like having a coach on the field,” Penders said. “He’s the one guy we green-light all the time. He doesn’t even have to look at me. He’s as close to George [Springer] as an intuitive baserunner as I’ve had.”<<

Naturally I had bought a ticket for Saturday because I can’t make the Friday game/s. Flippin’ weather is perfect all week until Saturday. :(

Does anyone know what they are doing about the giveaways - specifically the hookC hat? I assume they won’t have many so if you come to just the second game I am guessing they will be gone?

Cumbie and Fletcher are no joke though
You got That right. Not sure if a double header hurts or helps but offense has to come to play...otherwise starters are gonna have to be perfect.

I was at the Saturday game of that series. It was memorable for two things. First, the Houston coach got ejected by the umpires, then started wondering very loudly on where he was supposed to go since J.O. Christian does not have an on site locker room. Second, Randy Polonia pitched 2+ innings of relief in probably his best game of the year. He had control of his slider that day, and it was found to be absolutely unhittable by the Houston batters.

Sooooo I bought tickets for this weekend’s games and then my wife gave birth to our second son on Tuesday. If there are any Boneyarders out there willing to snag son #1 a Springer poster or two I could PayPal shipping money or send over a Prepaid cardboard tube. Thanks!
