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

[HawkHusky]

Nice start!

 

[ATLDYKA]

Gozzo robbed. Nice fundamental hitting in the first.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 1st, 1-2-3 inning for Kersten, a shutdown inning as Chris Jones would say. 3-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense unrecognizable from first two games. Great start.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, UConn goes down in order.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Awful start to the bottom of the 2nd, as their first two hitters get singles.

 

[HawkHusky]

Yikes. Another single. Bases loaded. No outs.

 

[dbmill]

Awful start to the bottom of the 2nd, as their first two hitters get singles.

Bases loaded, no out, three singles, none hit hard.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bases loaded, but 2 outs after some bitching strikeouts. Let's shut the door here Jeff!

 

[dbmill]

Kersten gets out of the bottom of the 2nd with a ground out. Strands the bases loaded. That's big!

 

[HawkHusky]

WOW! What a recovery!

 

[huskymedic]

Holy moly Jeff! That had to suck the wind out of the dugout.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Kersten gets a groundout to end the inning with no damage!!

 

[huskymedic]

 

[uconnbaseball]

Prato got a leadoff single, then got thrown out stealing 2nd. Nothing else doing for the offense.

Kersten should have had a 1-2-3, but Phillips makes an error at third. 2 outs, Davis up.

 

[HawkHusky]

Erg... 3B!

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Phillips commits a two out error at 3B allowing a runner to get on and allowing Davis to hit. Kersten gets him on a pop out. 56 pitches for Kersten.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Erg... 3B!

Please merge Thad's bat with Connor's glove. Do this now.

Kersten wins a lengthy battle with Davis. Top 4, still 3-0 neutral guys.

 

[huskymedic]

Bottom 3rd, Phillips commits a two out error at 3B allowing a runner to get on and allowing Davis to hit. Kersten gets him on a pop out. 56 pitches for Kersten.

Hoodini...

 

[HawkHusky]

Storrs got 6 inches of snow???

 

[uconnbaseball]

Another reason why I want to beat UH: I support Rice baseball and I'm not sure if Rice could beat Fairfield Warde this year.

This is my chance to watch UH lose to one of my teams.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones speculating that the home games at UConn during the midweek will have to be moved to the road.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, UConn goes down in order.

 

[uconnbaseball]

First two runners reach in bottom of the 4th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, more trouble. Bases loaded no out as UConn gets no one on a sac bunt attempt.

 

[HawkHusky]

Uh oh again. Bases loaded. No outs.

 

[dbmill]

Kersten gets a strikeout for the first out of the inning.

 

[dbmill]

Kersten walks the next batter to bring in a run to make it 3-1 UConn with 1 out.

 

[dbmill]

Karl Johnson warming up.

 

[uconnbaseball]

2 walks and a failed attempt to make a play on a bunt...UH needs all the help they can get to score and we are giving it to them.
