[dbmill]

Top 8th, UConn offense goes down in order. 8-7 Xavier.

 

[dbmill]

Take her on home!

It would help if UConn batters and baserunners find home plate a few times in the top of the 9th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, a 1 out Xavier solo homer off of Ellisen. 9-7 Xavier.

Ellisen coming out after the homer, Fogell coming in to pitch. Fogell gets 2 outs to end the inning. 9-7 Xavier.

 

[Steve UConn72]

I think they should change the name of the stadium from J. Page Hayden Stadium to J. Pitcher Hatin' Stadium. Oh, the ERA's after this series.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, Freeberger leads off with a single, advances to 2B on a ground out. Studley with a 1 out 2 run homer to tie the game at 9.

 

[Bomber36]

Studs!

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, Broadhurst follows the homer with a 1 out single. Daniels with a 1 out 2 run homer to give UConn an 11-9 lead, first homer for Daniels in a Husky uniform.

 

[Bomber36]

Oh Danny Boy!

Yes, UConn baserunners are finding home plate this inning.

 

[dbmill]

Top 9th, Morton follows the homers with a 1 out walk, but that is it for the UConn offense this inning. 11-9 UConn.

Fogell starts the bottom of the 9th on the mound for the Huskies, the first batter is a lefty. Willis is warming up.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 9th, Fogell gets the first 2 outs, then walks a batter. A ground out ends the inning, UConn gets the 11-9 win and takes the series.

 

[CtBaseball]

Holy ……..

 

[JeannoCT]

Yay!!

[dbmill]

Xavier may have lost the series, but it would not surprise me if the Big East gets 2 teams into the NCAA tourney this season. We'll see what happens.

One other thing, Ellisen is certainly getting important time on the mound of late.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Mr. Fogell becoming our go to closer. Great Win and big series win.

 

[Hookknows]

All In Win! Great job everyone! Battle of the East!

 

[Dream Jobbed 2.0]

Big time road series win!

 

[navery12]

We'll see this team again in May. Both of these teams are NCAA tournament caliber teams regardless of who comes out on top in the likely BET championship game

 

[huskymedic]

Mr. Fogell becoming our go to closer. Great Win and big series win.

 

[MarkyMark]

What a great series win. Grit and determination. S. Quigs just gutty in Game 2. Smitty starting to hit. And Daniels shows why I can't spell coach. Haha. Coach Mac will be the happiest guy ever to get on the plane and get out of Ohio. That field is absolutely brutal. On to Northeastern Tuesday in a sneaky big game.

 

[Rdkid]

Xavier is a nightmare at home. We have them in check at Prasco.

 

[Rdkid]

Two big games this week - even with midweek pitching mess. After that, with this offense, there are a bunch of wins for the taking.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Xavier is easily the best team we have played all year in a weekend series. Even their arms were lively…we are just on a tear offensively.

 

[Bomber36]

How did they get this score wrong?

 

[Hookknows]

 

[huskymedic]

How did they get this score wrong?

 

[Viet Vet]

This must be like watching a Rocky movie - two heavyweights beating the snot out each other.

No, it's like watching the Little League World series in that ridiculous bandbox.
