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.

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.

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.

 

[huskymedic]

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.

We all know it was Winkel...

 

[uconnbaseball]

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

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

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.

 

[dbmill]

Dunlop starts the bottom of the 5th at 46 pitches. 4-1 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

DiCaprio gets Nebraska out of the inning. 4-1 going to the bottom of the 5th.

Pivotal half inning coming up here.

 

[Guapo]

C’mon Huskies.

 

[huskymedic]

LOL...

 

[huskymedic]

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Dunlop with a quick 1-2-3 inning. 58 pitches. 4-1 UConn. Great game so far for Dunlop. Hope he is good for 1 more inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Another inning by Dunlop would be monstrous. If we can get a couple more runs here, it'd be easier to ride Dunlop longer.

Anything more from Dunlop would be wonderful gravy. He has done what was needed.

 

[4in16]

Let Dunlop go as far as you can at this point. It’s all about preserving pitching now.

I'm guessing that may be one more inning, but we'll see. The good sign is that Dunlop is still throwing strikes.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Winkel with a 1 out single. He has been money in the 9 slot.

 

[uconnbaseball]

...and Nebraska's catcher drops the ball on a pitchout, allowing Winkel to reach 2nd. Nice.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, 2 out Prato walk puts runners at the corners.

 

[dbmill]

Woodworth single brings in a run. 5-1 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Woody RBI single! 5-1, still 2 runners on and 2 outs.
