Simeone stays in to start the bottom of the 7th.

He probably won't be available again after this game, but he has stepped up tremendously today after Wang and Kersten struggled.

I'd send him out for the 8th and have Angus warming and ready to come in

Simeone is probably not available tomorrow at this point. Question is do they want him available for a possible Monday game. Of course, keeping him in saves a lot of pitchers for tomorrow.

Kenny Haus on to pitch the bottom of the 8th. Now I'm not sure at all who will start a second game tomorrow if UConn advances. Perhaps Karl Johnson? Perhaps whoever doesn't pitch the first game.
 
1-2-3 for Haus. Maybe pull him and he's still good to go tomorrow?

Top 9th, Nucerino pinch hits, grounds into a double play to end the inning. 10-2 UConn.

So we're definitely rooting for Nebraska tonight right?

Have to I think. Tomorrow’s going to be really tough regardless but I shudder to think about who we’d have against OK State in game 2.

Also it'd be tough to beat them twice. One game at a time though at this point.
 


For those more in the know, what’s the story with outline on Penders’ hat? Dont see them on anyone else. It’s a neat touch. Is it for CT natives?
 
I've been saying that UConn needed some contributions from pitchers from the pen not named Dandeneau, Wurster, and Wallace. They got it today, excellent pitching from both Simeone and Haus, which enabled UConn not to have to use Wallace today. Because of that, the bullpen is in good shape for the first game tomorrow. Of course, to take the regional and advance they need to win three games in two days now.

I expect Colby Dunlop will start UConn's next game tomorrow. It will probably be the last start in this regional where UConn can expect to get any length from a starter, so to help out the bullpen it would really help if Dunlop can go 5 innings and basically repeat what he did in the AAC tourney. Any games UConn plays after the Dunlop start would surely be staff day affairs, so the bullpen would be seeing a lot of usage. A good outing from Dunlop will help to lessen the load on the UConn relief corps. Of course, the Huskies can still use help from the various inconsistent pitchers to take this thing. Guys like Mayock and Johnson have the talent and the potential to be really good in the future, it would really help if they show that talent in the coming games.
