2019 NCAA Baseball Tournament Oklahoma City Regional Elimination Game: #2 UConn v. #3 Nebraska (6/2/19 @1p ET > WatchESPN/ESPN3)

Too good a hitter to bunt in that situation

Don't necessarily like the call, but I understand it. Christian Fedko is a slow runner and can be had on a double play ball.

1st pitch out...exactly what we needed.

 

[uconnbaseball]

They are playing well and things have been going their way (for a change)... make ‘em make a perfect throw on an aggressive play.

I agree with the send; just not the sac bunt with no outs.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, 1-2-3 inning for Dunlop. 2-0 UConn. 30 pitches for Colby.

 

[HuskyHawk]

I agree with the send; just not the sac bunt with no outs.

I’m not a fan of bunting early in the game, but even less so with a good hitter and no outs.

Fortunately Dunlop looks very solid.

ESPN just had a nice plug about how CT as a state has three teams in the tourney this year. During the GT/ Coastal game.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Triple by Phillips with 1 out! Thought that was out off the bat.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, a one out Phillips triple followed by a Chris Winkel bunt single which brings in the run. 3-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bunt single RBI! GREAT call Penders!!! 3-0

 

[dbmill]

Bunt single RBI! GREAT call Penders!!! 3-0

Chris Winkel has had several bunt singles this season. Not often a big guy like him can lay down a bunt and beat it out.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Damn, that looked like strike 3 to Toppa...another life.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Going to the bottom of the 4th, up 3-0. Need at least 2 more good innings out of Dunlop.

 

[HuskyHawk]

Going to the bottom of the 4th, up 3-0. Need at least 2 more good innings out of Dunlop.

9 innings ideally! Somehow have to pitch through two more games in the next 24 hours, if we are fortunate.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Dunlop in a little trouble with 2 runners on and 1 out.

 

[huskymedic]

Going to the bottom of the 4th, up 3-0. Need at least 2 more good innings out of Dunlop.

I’d take getting out of this inning

 

[dbmill]

Single scores a run for Huskers. 1 out runners on the corners. 3-1 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Double play ends the 4th inning!! 3-1 UConn.

We all know it was Winkel...

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice job escaping that inning. I would be pleased with a 2 run lead after 6.

 

[dbmill]

9 innings ideally! Somehow have to pitch through two more games in the next 24 hours, if we are fortunate.

Not a realistic view. Dunlop has only gotten to 5 innings 4 times this season.

 

[huskymedic]

Nice job escaping that inning. I would be pleased with a 2 run lead after 6.

I’d have an aura of calm w/ a 5 run lead.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Woody gets a leadoff single, then easily steals 2nd to lead off!

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Christian Fedko single drives in Woodworth. 4-1 UConn with 1 out. Pitching change.

 

[uconnbaseball]

RBI single by big Fedders makes it 4-1 UConn. We have 10 hits through 4 1/3 innings.

 

[Jimdish255]

I’d have an aura of calm w/ a 5 run lead.

In the final inning that would be calming. It's the getting there.
