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

[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.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, 1 out, runner at 3B. Colby Dunlop comes in to pitch taking over for Jimmy Wang.

 

[huskymedic]

Wang progresses w/each opportunity. Good to see.

 

[dbmill]

Suicide squeeze single gets a run for Houston. 6-3 UConn, still one out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

I wish our offense would stop dying after a big inning.

 

[HawkHusky]

Gotta tack on a few more runs today.

 

[dbmill]

After the squeeze, Dunlop gets out of the inning with no more runs scored. 6-3 UConn going to the top of the 6th. We'll see if Dunlop gets another inning, as he will probably start on Wednesday.

 

[uconnbaseball]

If we are up by 2-3 going into the 8th inning, I will feel good about our chances.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, UConn bottom of the order goes down in order.

 

[HawkHusky]

ugh. ugly bats. another game of dead offense after the first 3 innings.

 

[dbmill]

Dunlop starts the bottom of the 6th at 4 pitches. Wurster warming in the pen.

 

[ATLDYKA]

ugh. ugly bats. another game of dead offense after the first 3 innings.

When we get the lead we lose all patience at the plate and really make it easy on opposing pitchers. Quick innings and don't drive up pitch counts.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, two out, two runners on, and Caleb Wurster coming in to relieve Dunlop.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Naaaaa na na NA na NA naaaaaaaaaa....hey Caleb

 

[dbmill]

Wurster does his job getting the strikeout to end the bottom of the 6th. 6-3 UConn.

 

[HawkHusky]

YES Wurster!
