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.

LOL...

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.

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.

 

[uconnbaseball]

I would keep Dunlop out the bottom of the 6th...and take him out at the 1st sign of trouble. Any outs we get from Colby from here are luxury.

 

[dbmill]

As expected, Dunlop takes the mound for the bottom of the 6th.

 

[dbmill]

Dunlop making a great audition for Friday starts next season. Gets the first two outs in the 6th.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, another 1-2-3 inning for Dunlop. He's at 66 pitches.

 

[Stainmaster]

Dunlop making a great audition for Friday starts next season. Gets the first two outs in the 6th.

He may be our only returning pitcher who’s even reached the sixth inning of a start...

 

[uconnbaseball]

Dunlop looks dominant vs. the top of their order in the 6th, gets them 1-2-3. Going to the top of the 7th, still 5-1 UConn.

 

[huskymedic]

C’mon Colby - make a name for yourself!

Mission accomplished...

 

[dbmill]

UConn coaches have been talking about Colby Dunlop's potential for two years, he may be finally growing into it.

Please note people, his name is Colby, not Coby.

 

[dbmill]

Nucerino pinch hitting for Gozzo. Good to get Gozzo a little rest, as he may be starting at catcher later today If UConn keeps this lead.

 

[4in16]

That looked fair from here.
