Men #20 UConn v. UMBC Retrievers (Fri. 3/31/23 @Elliot Ballpark @12:05p, Sat. 4/1/23 @Dunkin’ Park @2:05p & Sun. 4/2/23 @Elliot Ballpark @1:05p)

Bases loaded for UMBC with just 1 out. Some big pitches from Sully coming up vs the bottom of their order try to prevent a big inning.

A double play ends the inning with no damage! 5-0 UConn going to the bottom of the 4th.

Smith gets a "double" on a routine fly ball that gets lost in the sun. Freeberger cashes him in to take a 6-0 lead. Huber and Studley follow up with singles to make it 7-0. A broadhurst single gives UConn an 8-0 lead. Another patented 2 out rally!

Despite the score I would expect some of stalwarts of bullpen to see action to keep them on some sort of schedule. These are tough games as there is a difference in class between two programs.

You hate to sound greedy but anything less than a sweep would be ugly. Doing what they need to and taking it to UMBC.

Nice job by Sullivan today…

 

[uconnbaseball]

Sully with another pretty easy inning. He has given up some singles today but nothing earth shattering. He's also limited the walks. At 85 pitches he might be able to come out for one more, but I suspect he's done for the day.

Nothing going for UConn in the bottom of the 5th. Still 8-0 Huskies. Coe Fogell coming in.

Fogell works very quickly and strikes out the side. He's been really good the past couple of weeks.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Back to back 1 out singles by Freeberger and Huber gives UConn runners at the corners with 1 out. A double play ends the threat.

Scoreless inning for Coe. We've been very professional this series.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Good inning for Kirby, inducing weak contact. Our defense continues to impress. Going to the bottom of the 8th, UConn is up 8-0.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Kron with an RBi single. 9-0.

 

[uconnbaseball]

11-0 after an infield single by Morton, complicated by yet another UMBC error.

Brini strikes out to end the inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Willis records 3 quick outs to preserve an 11-0 victory and the sweep!

 

[huskymedic]

Win the games you are supposed to win…

Yup, they took care of business. But the 8-1 home stand, with 3 of the games against Rutgers and 1 against BC, is a great two weeks. Now on to 4 games in NYC.

Good effort today.
