Good work CJ!!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Pitching has been outstanding today for sure.

 

[HawkHusky]

Another fantastic bunt single, this time by Big Wink.

 

[huskymedic]

Amenities please (at least 1, 2 would be nice).

 

[HawkHusky]

I'll take it!

 

[HawkHusky]

Cincy error makes it 5-1.

 

[huskymedic]

Wallace In to close it out...

Wish Uconn would get that one knockout hit to blow the game wide open. They just seem to struggle with a runner at third. Oh well 5-1. We'll take it going to the ninth

 

[HawkHusky]

Walla$e

Done deal... 5-1 win. Wallace hitting 98 and 99 on the gun.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Gotta win tomorrow, too. Cincinnati is probably the worst team in the league despite throwimg together a few conference wins.

 

[HawkHusky]

Cincy always seems to perform poorly OOC but then finish in the middle of the AAC. I think they'll finish above both Memphis and USF, if not some others.

Gotta win tomorrow there is no question
Watch some final four hoops and head back into Hartford in the morning

 

[firstnline]

I noticed Uconn showed more patience at the plate today. They did not swing as much on the first pitch and worked the count in their favor quite a bit today.

Don't really agree that they are the worst team in the league, even if they are it is not very clear cut. I would have pegged Memphis as the worst team in the league up until they almost swept Houston last weekend. Hard to tell any thing in the AAC right now, other than ECU being the team to beat. Regardless it is hard to call a team that took 2 out of 3 at USF to open the conference season the worst team in the league.

I had a UConn day with the kids today - football event in the morning, baseball in the afternoon. Lots of free UConn swag. This was my first time at DDP - it’s very nice. We had great seats for a reasonable price. Kersten was great - he does a good job of keeping composure when he gets in trouble. It was frustrating to load the bases with one out and only get a run on a walk. I would stick with C-Mo at 3b on weekends. With 2 kids I only lasted through the 6th so I missed Wallace and the Toppa blast.

No. 22 BSB Evens Series vs. Cincy, 5-1

Notes

• UConn moves to 6-3 this season against left-handed starters.
• The Huskies are 14-3 when they score at least five runs.
• UConn is 5-1 when it hits two home runs or more
• Jake Wallace has thrown 14.1 consecutive scoreless innings in his last nine appearances.
• The Huskies are 7-1 in games that Jeff Kersten starts this season.

Yea 5 runs seems to be our magic number. Getting there consistently with this lineup should not be difficult, hopefully we can continue to manufacture tough at bats.

Nucerino. From looking at game reports and box scores it sure looks like he might be threatening to take over in right field.

I feel much better about options at RF (Nucerino, Fedko, Chiovitti) than 3B (Langer, Morriarty, Lucas, Phillips) going forward.

I've felt that way all along.

Langer does seem to be earning additional looks with his bat of late. His offense has picked up this week.

At the end of today...

• Tulane took two from Wichita State 12-6 and 8-4
• ECU took two from Houston 15-3 and 3-1
