#18 UConn v. Houston (*Dbl Header* on Fri. 5/11 @3p & 7p @Dunkin Donut Park & Sun. 5/13 @11a @J.O.C)

Bottom 5th, Zac Susi sac fly ties the score at 3.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, quick 1-2-3 inning for Wallace.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice job Jake!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, 2 out Fedko single scores Stefanski to give UConn a 4-3 lead. Seems like all of Fedko's hits lately have been late in games to drive in a run.

 

[dbmill]

Houston gets a lead off solo homer in the top of the 7th to tie it at 4. Houston is one of those teams that has always been tough for UConn to beat.

Susi’s reached base streak @ 36 is incredible...

 

[Baseballguy]

Walking Feldstein to get to Troy. Interesting.

Edit: it worked for Houston

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, PJ Poulin comes in to pitch.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin easily gets Houston in order in the 8th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, 1 out walk for Fedko. As has often happened late in games, Fedko is lifted a pinch runner, this time Nucerino. This game could very well go extra innings, so I am not comfortable with Fedko's bat being taken out of the game.

 

[Baseballguy]

HOLY ****!!! What a slide by Nucerino

 

[dbmill]

Nucerino scores from 2B on a Toppa infield single!! 5-4 UConn.

Sounds like a good call in retrospect

Sounds like a good call in retrospect

It worked out this time, that's for sure.

 

[UConNick]

Woah! Anyone watching the video stream able to see what happened there? Sounds like a tremendous slide from nucerino to get in there.

 

[dbmill]

An amenity!!! Prato double drives in another run to make it 6-4.

Definitely was. It was phenomenal in person. He slid past the catcher, who was right on top of the plate, got back up, dove to the plate before the tag could be placed

 

[huskymedic]

C’mon PJ. Shut ‘em down!

 

[dbmill]

Agita rising, 2 on, 1 out with Davis up.

 

[dbmill]

Davis pops out to Winkel for the second out.

 

[dbmill]

Ground ball out, game over, Poulin and UConn win 6-4!!!!

 

[Baseballguy]

Not the ideal result but getting 2 Top 50 wins isn’t bad

 

[huskymedic]

Game over, Poulin and UConn win 6-4!!!!

That made for an enjoyable few hours @ work...

 

[dbmill]

It just amazes me this season how often UConn's starting pitcher has come out early (5th inning or before) and yet the Huskies still find ways to win. It's lucky, but it is also great to see.

 

[huskymedic]

12th 30 win season in 15 seasons under Jim Penders...

 

[uconnbaseball]

That was not a bad week at all results wise. I just wish we didn't lay that 10-1 egg in fron of a record crowd.

[navery12]

Obviously winning 2 out of 3 would have been great but avoiding the sweep is nice. Shouldn't be too big of a hit to our RPI

 

[Fantana]

We are 5 feet away from Prato putting that foul in fair territory down the line from taking 2 out of 3. Being without the ace for this long and still be in this thing all being considered is incredible.

As the weeks pass worried we might not see cate again this year in a true starters role...

I tend to agree, if Cate comes back I would bet it would be in a bullpen role
