Big weekend win. Somehow this team is once again, with so many new contributors, has turned into a typical Penders team. DIRTDOGS!
Georgetown also plays in a band box which brings about lots of offense.
A little easier to complain about other ballparks now that UConn has moved out of J.O. Christian Field.

At least JO had major league dimensions. The "stadium" really wasn't one.
love watching the Xavier player or coach firing a baseball into the dugout wall after Daniels homered.
You find all sorts of ballpark dimensions all over the place in baseball, that's always been the nature of the game on every level. Probably the polar opposite of Xavier and Georgetown would be Seton Hall's home field, which has huge dimensions. Not a place to go to if you are looking for home runs.

Good point. I should have said the "dimensions" are a joke. J.O. Christian Field stadium was a high school, but its dimensions were not.
Yes, it helps to have patience, but I also expect college baseball to simply to be a bit crazy, and I certainly don't expect any team to win every game or to play well all the time when it comes to college baseball. Also helps that I also love listening to Chris Jones call a game (even if I am watching the stream of a game), I find Jones great to listen to, and I can't say that about too many sports announcers who try to call games these days.
Another factor may be that my wife is a newspaper reporter (talk about a dying industry, but she just loves it), so I think some of that might rubbed off into my in game postings as well. Just keep at it no matter how good or bad things are going with a particular story/game, so to speak.

No. 20 HookC Scores Four In Ninth to Stun Xavier, 11-9 - University of Connecticut Athletics
CINCINNATI - The No. 20 UConn baseball team (26-9, 4-2 BIG EAST) scored four runs in the ninth to take a road series at Xavier (22-14, 4-2 BIG EAST), 11-9, a...
Game Notes
- The Huskies are now 33-11 in BIG EAST regular season games since returning to the conference in 2021.
- David Smith has reached base safely in 25 straight games.
- Jake Studley and Luke Broadhurst are now riding 15-game hit streaks.
- Ben Huber has homered in three-straight games.
- The Huskies have won seven straight series and not dropped a series this season.
I'm sure with the road doubleheader yesterday, everyone associated with the team was pretty busy. Today with no game and no doubt a later flight home, they have plenty of time on their hands to post this stuff. Still, nice to see and listen to.

David Smith has been doing a fine job of getting on base for most of this season, still his offense has been heating up more of late, and before his on base percentage was a bit under .400, now it is .404.
Well worth listening to, big praise for the Quigley brothers for competing in this band box.
