2016 NCAA Baseball Tournament - UConn's Road to Omaha

[BugsyCT]

That's a killer. 3 run HR. Radio guy said Toppa hauled it in too. Would've ended the inning.

5-0 GT. Uphill battle now. Wonder how much yesterday took out of them.

3 run homer for Georgia Tech in the top of the 4th makes it 5-0.

I'm sorry, I started watching in the bottom of the 3rd. Since then, basically a worst-case scenario and probably game over, in about 20 minutes.

It's my fault.

I'm sure Penders is hoping for Montgomerie to settle down, as I really doubt he wants to get into the bullpen right away.

So did TV... but Toppa body language said otherwise.

It's those new hats they're wearing. Get the ol ones on...

UConn on the board, still in business with 2 out this inning

 

[dbmill]

5-1 Georgia Tech after 4 innings. Now UConn needs Montgomerie to return to late season form for the next couple of innings.

Edit: Never mind about Montgomerie. Dandeneau is in to pitch the 5th inning.

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau wriggles out of trouble in the top of the 5th with no additional runs coming in for Georgia Tech. The Rambling Wreck still leads 5-1.

If I hear "And the very first home run of the year hit by ________" one more time ....

Is it not obvious Parr has pine tar on his hip he keeps going to?

Bases loaded balk scores a run for UConn in the bottom of the 5th.

 

[dbmill]

5-2 Georgia Tech after 5 innings. UConn fails to really take advantage of an obviously spent Parr.

Unfortunately that 3 run 2 out bomb has changed this game. We can't waste opportunities - need big hits when we have a couple runners in scoring position. Maybe it's only a 3-2 deficit if we kept GT in the yard and scratching out a run at a time would work.

For whatever reason, Parr had been totally losing his command pitching from the stretch. We haven't taken advantage with our best hitters up with hitters counts and lots of runners on.

Some good news from the UConn bullpen. Dandeneau breezes through the top of the 6th with a 1-2-3 inning.

Parr has only started a couple games this season. He is normally a reliever. He already pitched some in the Friday game, came back on very short rest to start, and really had reached the limit of his effectiveness in this game after throwing many more pitches than he is used to.

UConn really needs to take advantage of the thin Georgia Tech bullpen that Parr was protecting.

GT goes to their closer in the 6th. Interesting.

Yes - and if changes the mojo it can stay out!! CCJ and WHUS

 

[husky10]

Did the game freeze for anyone else watching on ESPN 3? Getting a "your event is about to begin please stand" by message on computer, not working on the phone either

 

[BugsyCT]

Scraping back in it. 5-3 with a runner at 3rd.

 

[BugsyCT]

2 out single, now 5-4! End of the 6th.
