I will miss Nucerino's scrappiness in the 9 spot. Gotta have Moriarity's defense though.

 

[HawkHusky]

You are both much better than HawkHusky, by a lot (and I will namedrop HuskyHawk as well). What atrocious users, almost Baseballguy level bad.

Finally!

 

[HawkHusky]

UCONN goes down 1-2-3 to start the game.

 

[HawkHusky]

Pick off ends the inning. 0-0 T2.

 

[dbmill]

Gardner picks off a runner who is ruled caught steeling to end the 1st inning. No score. Last I checked the numbers of UConn runners picked off was very close to the number of opponents picked off. It was off by one or two, but it was a similar number.

Edit: Before this game 8 UConn runners picked off, 10 opponents picked off.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, UConn goes down in order again.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Gardner sets them down in order with 2 strikeouts. 20 pitches for Gardner, so looking good there.

 

[SAMCRO]

Out of town scoreboard

T9 UC 5-1 @ WSU
B4 ECU 5-1 @ Tulane
B1 UCF 1-0 @ UH

 

[SAMCRO]

Memphis with runners on the corner and 1 away.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Really poor start for the offense, hopefully they can wake up. We will need to score today.

 

[dbmill]

1 out single scores a run for Memphis in the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[SAMCRO]

Good job battling back by Gardner to limit the damage. Our bullpen is going to get some work today.

 

[SAMCRO]

1-0 Memphis going to T4

 

[dbmill]

Line drive to Winkel ends the inning. 1-0 Memphis after 3 innings. Dunlop has been warming up early in this one.

 

[HawkHusky]

Dear Bats,

I'd love to see you today.

 

[DefCONNOne]

This minor bickering is nothing compared to what I have seen lately on csnbbs...you guys are rank amateurs.

Kirsten golden through 4.

Disagree 100%. They've cracked down hard over there. They showed me the door back in January for questioning the moderation.

 

[DefCONNOne]

UCONN fans are severely outnumbered at CSNBBS. They can only do so much.

All UCONN fans are allowed to do on that site is to know their role and shut their mouths.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, UConn gets two runners on with no out, and loads the bases with 2 out. Winkel up.

 

[SAMCRO]

bases loaded for Winkel with 2 outs.

 

[dbmill]

Hit by pitch ties the game at 1.

 

[SAMCRO]

Yess that’s how you use your head. Plunked in head for an rbi. Tied up.

 

[SAMCRO]

Fedko pops out to end it.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Only 1 run there is a little disappointing, but at least we forced their starter / closer to throw a ton of pitches.

Getting baserunners on is always a positive. Let's hope it is the new trend for UConn in this game.

 

[SAMCRO]

Nice! Caught stealing. 2 down.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Susi throws out a base stealer. Gardner faces the minimum. 48 pitches so far.

 

[SAMCRO]

Inning over! 7 pitches thrown.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Woodworth with some more great defense this inning!

Going to the 5th inning tied at 1.

 

[HawkHusky]

Husky defense so good.

 

[SAMCRO]

Toppa with a single.
