2019 Conference Opener: UConn @ Houston (Fri. 3/22 @7:30p ET, Sat. 3/23 @ 7:30p ET & Sun. 3/24 @ 12:30p ET)

[dbmill]

Infield error by Houston brings in one more run for UConn. 4-1 UConn, runners on the corners with 1 out.

 

[Stainmaster]

3B defense karma is finally swinging our way.

 

[HawkHusky]

New pitcher for Houston.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Did I say their defense was incredible. Incredibly bad to our favor this inning.

 

[dbmill]

He is a D1 player. IMO even if he is a weak hitter, he has to be at least be able to put down a sac bunt.

The less a player hits, the more he needs to do the little things such as laying down a bunt.

Hmm...Sounds like college baseball to me. Incredible either way, good or bad.

 

[huskymedic]

College baseball is like a box of chocolate...

... its what keeps me interested.

 

[ucjoet]

Please place our foot on their throats. Lets get some more runs

 

[dbmill]

Two run double by Chris Winkel makes it 6-1. 1 out.

 

[HawkHusky]

BIG WINK!!!!!!!!!!!!!

 

[Stainmaster]

Now that's how you welcome in a reliever!

 

[huskymedic]

Quite the answer to the solo shot to tie the game. Aggressive baserunning and hitting.

Hope Wang just rears back and throws the baseball w/ 6-1 lead.

 

[HawkHusky]

ugh again

 

[dbmill]

Winkel thrown out at 3B trying to steal. Never liked stealing that base, as the risk/reward is too high if you fail. If you try it, you better make it.

 

[uconnbaseball]

HREAT inning regardless

GREAT even

 

[HawkHusky]

Houston scores 1 to make it 6-2. Let's score 5 more in the 4th.

Yea...give them the Michigan State treatment.

 

[dbmill]

Yea...give them the Michigan State treatment.

Michigan State is a much worse team. They are still stuck at 3 wins the last I looked.

 

[HawkHusky]

Michigan State is a much worse team. They are still stuck at 3 wins the last I looked.

Only a couple 3-run losses at Nebraska since playing us.

 

[HawkHusky]

Toppa should have been more patient there.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th threat with 2 runners on goes by the boards as Toppa hits into an inning ending double play. 6-2 UConn. Wang at 41 pitches to start the bottom of the 4th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, scoreless inning for Jimmy Wang.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Only a couple 3-run losses at Nebraska since playing us.

TBF Nebraska is horrible. I was hoping they could, uh, actually win that series.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Solid outing by Wang. Just gotta survive a couple more innings before CJ / Wallace.

 

[HawkHusky]

UConn batters retired 1-2-3 in the Top of the 5th.
