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

[dbmill]

Toppa hit by a pitch high, Chris Jones says it hit his shoulder and then his face perhaps. Toppa stays in the game.

#ToppaTough

 

[dbmill]

Toppa steals second, so he can't be feeling all that bad.

 

[dbmill]

Chiovitti pinch runs for Toppa.

 

[HawkHusky]

Bases loaded, 1 out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Thoughts on offense producing:

Throw the dagger in here!

 

[huskymedic]

Now I feel better... 5 run lead is a comfort level w/ Davis in the line-up

 

[dbmill]

Bases loaded single by Phillips brings in another run to make 8-3 in the 7th. Christian Fedko thrown out at the plate for the second out.

 

[HawkHusky]

Feddy thrown out at home for out #2, runners on the corners. And another pitching change for Houston.

 

[dbmill]

Feddy thrown out at home for out #2 outs, runners on the corners. And another pitching change for Houston.

With all these pitching changes and the Toppa hit by pitch, this is one long inning. Winkel strikes out to end the inning.

 

[HawkHusky]

Winkel strikeout ends the inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

C'mon spirit animal, pitch a shutout inning!

 

[dbmill]

Wurster starts the bottom of the 7th.

 

[HawkHusky]

3B...

 

[HawkHusky]

DP makes up for the error. 2 outs.

 

[dbmill]

Line drive back to Wurster turns into a double play. Dandeneau coming in to face right handed hitters now. Was kind of expecting that.

 

[HawkHusky]

@uconnbaseball 's guy Wurster with another great showing today

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau induces a slow grounder to Moriarty who makes a fine play to end the 7th inning. 8-3 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Woodworth with another solo homer in the 8th. 9-3 UConn.

 

[huskymedic]

Boom... Woody (again)

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau starts the bottom of the 8th.

 

[uconnbaseball]

By far the best performance of the week thus far.

 

[HawkHusky]

By far the best performance of the week thus far.

Let's hold off on that for now...

 

[HawkHusky]

phew. nice recovery.

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau strands two runners on base in the 8th. 9-3 UConn.
