Bottom 9th, 1 out, Woodworth on 1B, Nucerino pinch hits for Hague. I guess Phillips isn't ready to play yet.

Nucerino gets hit by a pitch. He doesn't hit much, but he gets on base.

Moriarty single makes it 6-5! With 2 hits today, his average is now over .200.

Bummed they lost.

But I did get a hook C hat with no red or any sponsor crap on it
 
With no game tomorrow, in the second game expect to see plenty of Poulin and Wallace once Kersten comes out.

Kersten is anything but sharp. Hits #3 hitter with rob deer look a like joe Davis up. Who deposits the ball on RF. 4-0
 
Top 3rd, Houston gets a 2 run homer to make it 4-0. Kersten simply isn't sharp tonight. He needs to throw lots of strikes, and he hasn't.
 
WHUS announcers keep on saying the game is on Channel 20, but it isn't, at least tonight. I'm guessing it will be aired tomorrow afternoon on tape delay as originally scheduled.

Good job by the crowd, browbeating the crowd into correcting a missed strike call after throwing out a guy stealing home
 
Another run scores. Infield hit, advance on a bad throw...single up the middle 5-1 Houston.

Kersten continues to struggle. Nothing easy tonight.
 
Which team is the ranked one again? Total no show by the pitching staff. This team was either flat with a ton of energy coming into this stadium today. Either that or Houston is better.
 
With the injuries to Cate and company on the pitching staff, I'm really surprised this type of showing by UConn hasn't happened sooner during AAC play, or for that matter during the midweek games.

6-1 Houston, 5th inning. Kersten really should come out, but Penders doesn't want to put the back end of the bullpen in yet, and he doesn't want to put Poulin, Wallace, or even Rajkowski in while they are down by several runs.

Expand ...

Houston always has a very good team, even if their RPI is a little high. Just check the AAC standings, they are in 1st place coming into this series. I expect that East Carolina will be a tough series next week as well. Two very tough teams to end the AAC season, in my mind the cream of the crop in the AAC.

Turning into a rough evening. Losing the early game really hurt.

Still pissed about the rain tomorrow. Shot my whole sports weekend.

Kersten finally comes out, Trevor Holmes comes in with 2 out in the 5th and the bases loaded. Gets the final out of the inning.
 
Top 6th, Joe Davis hits a solo homer off of Trevor Holmes. 7-1 Houston.
 
Ugh, UCONN's done it again!! As soon as I start caring about this team, they go and put up stinkers like today. Yeah I know they fought back in the 1st game, but almost only counts in horseshoes and hand grenades.
 
After giving up the solo homer in the 6th, Trevor Holmes strikes out the side in the top of the 7th. Houston up 7-1.
