The stat tracker for the game has Jeff Kersten getting the start for UConn.

Cool down, hydrate and get some food in the body. And relax.

Pace yourself, we’ve got a long way to go tonight.

Stinks we cannot squeeze Nuc in there somewhere, but Kyler is red hot.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Kersten gets 2 quick outs, then walks and hits a guy.

 

[dbmill]

Top 1st, Kersten gets the first two batters out, then walks and hits a batter. Then he gets a strikeout to end the inning. No score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

88 MPH gets by their stud hitter. Kersten escapes with no damage, although he threw 25 pitches...I would only expect 1 or 2 more innings from him tonight.

Especially with Kersten having thrown 40+ pitches yesterday.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Santa Claus takes the mound for OSU.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Haha yes!!!

 

[navery12]

Not buying this guy is a freshman. Who's dad is this?

 

[uconnbaseball]

Sac fly moves Toppa up to 3rd - 1 out. This pitcher looks hittable.

 

[dbmill]

Woodworth sac fly scores Toppa. 1-0 UConn, bottom of 1st.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Another sac fly gives us the 1-0 lead!!!

 

[navery12]

4 batters, 7 pitches. But the early lead is huge

 

[dbmill]

Especially with Kersten having thrown 40+ pitches yesterday.

Big question is who comes in after Kersten. Probably too early for the three headed monster.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Lather. Rinse. Repeat.

Do the same thing for eight more innings.

My dogs have kind of shut it down for the summer. Cool, leather couch is all they want.

 

[dbmill]

Top 2nd, Kersten gets a 1-2-3 inning. 1-0 UConn. 3 strikeouts, 39 pitches. One more inning?

 

[Chin Diesel]

Confidence is a helluva aphrodisiac.
2 innings in to game and no reason for UConn not to believe they can't hang with the Pokes.

 

[Chin Diesel]

Two balls misplayed so far by OSU? Rusty, tight?

 

[uconnbaseball]

We are still red hot I see.

 

[UConnNick]

OK St. pitcher a James Harden wannabe.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, UConn has the bases loaded and no out. Langer up at bat.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Another infield hit!!! Yay!

 

[dbmill]

Langer sac fly. 2-0 UConn. Runners at the corners, 1 out.
