#24 UConn @ Cincinnati (Fri. 4/20 @ 6p, Sat. 4/21 @ 4p & Sun. 4/22 @ 1p) @ Marge Schott Stadium

It would really help to get about 3+ innings from him.

So much for that, solo homer for Cincinnati gives them a 6-5 lead.

SMH

 

[dbmill]

Winkel is on fire.

Total turnaround from last season. Vastly improved player, without a doubt.

My bad...

 

[huskymedic]

Pitching change for Cincy to start the 4th...

I’m watching this game like....

Bottom 4th, Dan Rajkowski relieves Simeone.

 

[dbmill]

Easy 1-2-3 inning for Rajkowski.

 

[HawkHusky]

Come on bats.

 

[dbmill]

Good to have both Dandeneau and Rajkowski back from injury and back in the bullpen. Both have had stretches in the past when they have been quite good. Of course, they have also had stretches when they have a horrible time finding the strike zone. Still, it is a definite plus to have these two veterans back in the pen.

I hate stealing third base, but it worked out there.

I also hate lag.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Winkel sac fly scores Prato in the top of the 5th to tie the game at 6.

 

[HawkHusky]

I hate stealing third base, but it worked out there.

I also hate lag.

No, No, No, No, No... Yes, Yes, Yes Yes!

I also hate lag.

Sounds like something I would say.

 

[dbmill]

Rajkowski allows a 2 out single, but otherwise has a fine bottom of the 5th inning retiring the other hitters.

 

[HawkHusky]

I'm really only watching for the mid-inning content.

 

[dbmill]

Woodworth is getting on my good side. At the beginning of the year I just didn't think he was going to hit. He has turned that around, and with his fielding ability at multiple positions, he is a great player to have on the team.

Wow, Moriarty gets his first hit in a long time, following a Woodworth double. Runners on 1B and 3B with 1 out in the top of the 6th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Another wasted opportunity. The guys need some serious bunting practice.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Dandeneau comes in to pitch.

He is a clear upgrade over Hill, in my opinion.

Not discouraged by how we have played this weekend. We're playing tough despite being severely shorthanded on the road. We'll be better for it when we get healthy.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice job getting out of that! Might see Poulin and Wallace the rest of the way.

 

[dbmill]

Great relief from Rajkowski and Dandeneau today.

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, Hague pinch runs for Fedko. Don't like taking Fedko's bat out of the lineup.

 

[UConNick]

I'm growing to hate Manny Rodriguez. At least he's a senior.

 

[dbmill]

Sure enough, the pinch running doesn't score a run, so now Fedko is out of the game. The ultimate short sighted strategy.

Jake Wallace in to pitch the bottom of the 8th.
