2016 NCAA Baseball Tournament - UConn's Road to Omaha

[uconnbaseball]

Awesome start, hopefully we can keep pusing on. Georgia Tech saved Gold and is paying dearly for it.

Thanks!! ... I found the ESPN3 info this morning but forgot to delete that sentence before posting ... haha

Outstanding half inning. Really takes the pressure off of the pitching staff.

 

[UConNick]

Huge to get a quick easy 1-2-3 inning. GA Tech looks a little overmatched against the poor little northern school, no?

 

[uconnbaseball]

Cate dealing and we are smoking the ball. This is a continuation of the UH game...keep it going.

Yahn looks like he's playing in a mud pit.

7 - nothing wow!! Take that ACC!

 

[Dove]

UCONN baby!!

 

[uconnbaseball]

7 0 still, going into the top of the 6th. Another run or two would just about do it.

I can't get ESPN3 or WHUS on my work computer. Anyone watching a live box score and, if so, could you share the link?

Cate through 5 innings...1 hit allowed, 5 strikeouts and one walk.

Thanks @Dove

 

[uconnbaseball]

7 1 top of the 7th. Please start hitting again!

 

[Stainmaster]

Polonia doesn't have it today. Crap.

Former MLB All-Star Carlos Peña giving UConn and Penders some major love on the broadcast.

GT essentially gave up and went to one of their worst pitchers to mop up innings and we haven't sniffed him. Now we have to use a lot of bullpen arms. Would have been nice to have Cate throw eight innings and win 11-2.

 

[specialisthusky]

Yikes. Three run game with no outs in 8th. Things are getting interesting. 6 out save opp?

 

[Dove]

Not watching here. Did the Huskies simply ease up on the gas since Cate was dealing and they want to stay fresh?

Cate was starting to lose steam.

Not watching either, but UConn stopped hitting - only an infield single off a freshman slop pitcher with a 7.50 ERA in four innings. Cate started laboring and falling behind hitters and they pulled him after a lead off single in the seventh. The bullpen started walking people and gave up a two-run HR in eighth. Had to go to closer (Ruotolo) for a two-inning save try when it looked like he would be able to rest up. He did well in the eighth but three outs to go.

 

[specialisthusky]

Cate was getting it but I thought we've been squeezed since then.

 

[Dove]

RUOTOLO with 1-2-3 8th.

Ruotolo...36.1 innings over 23 appearances. 1.73 ERA with batters hitting .198 against him.

11 saves. Soon to be 12.

 

[Dove]

Huskies go quietly in 9th with a 7-4 lead.

Wreck has their 8-9-1 batters coming up!

Uh oh ...
