Vandy falling behind late. 1-3 Top 7th Xavier in scoring position again.

Edit: Next pitch HR 1-7.
We're undefeated on ESPN3 so there's that.

I can't imagine the Vandy baseball team was in a good frame of mind for these games considering a freshmen pitcher of theirs just died in a drowning accident.

Vanderbilt pitcher Donny Everett dies in drowning accident

Gonna try out the whus app on iphone for the game. Little benedryl for a 3 year old is cool right?

 

[dbmill]

UConn the home team, and Anthony Kay throws a 5 pitch 1-2-3 1st inning. Exactly what the doctor ordered.

 

[BugsyCT]

Good start for K

 

[Stainmaster]

Seems like Toppa has regained his defensive mojo. Outstanding catch to finish off a 1-2-3 first.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Kay dealing

 

[BugsyCT]

HR!!!!! 1-0 UConn!

 

[dbmill]

Melley homer makes it 1-0 UConn in the bottom of the 1st!!!

 

[FfldCntyFan]

Beautiful!!!!!!!

 

[4in16]

That was smoked. Absolute no doubter by Melley 1-0 Huskies!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice start, still gonna need a gem by Kay though.

 

[BugsyCT]

17 pitches for Kay, 2 perfect innings so far.

 

[4in16]

That Huskies' Invitational bit there was great haha. Winning the green tarp, awesome.

 

[RedStickHusky]

nice play by daniello in top of three

 

[sportsart]

First home run of the frosh's career? Give me a break. 1-1

 

[Stainmaster]

Christ. Melley drops the throw from Daniello, and Guthrie catches our infielders sleeping by taking second. Awful stuff.

 

[BugsyCT]

gotta weather this

 

[Stainmaster]

Right side of the infield playing with butter on their hands.

 

[Jimdish255]

Disastrous sequence of events. Multiple errors to give away a run. And it extends our ace.

 

[dbmill]

2-1 Florida going into the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[Stainmaster]

Lady Luck seems to be finally looking at us once again. Gnesda flyball is dropped by one of the best CFs in college baseball (and a possible first round pick).

 

[uconnbaseball]

1st and 3rd, no outs after a weird error by UF and a nice hit by Hill. Too of our order coming up.

 

[huskymedic]

They got him all Puk'd up...

Tie game.

 

[dbmill]

Sundberg ground out gets a run in. Tied at 2 after 3 innings.

 

[Jimdish255]

Making a lot of contact now but close plays on the bases ended that rally. Like the trend if we can hold here.

 

[Fairfield_1st]

I thought Sundberg was safe, but Carlos Pena says clearly out. genius. It was anything but clear. I would have liked to see the force out of Hill again too. That also looked close.

tagged on the wrist - hand on the bag -- is what I saw.

 

[seeya27]

Thought exactly the same thing. He may have been out upon really close inspection... but calling it "clearly" out? No way.
