Nice scrappy “comeback” win…

 

[Tmill15]

Another scrappy win by the guys today to grab the series win!!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Sweeping this team would be excellent, seeing as they could be a tricky 4 seed for someone. Still, the pop-ups need to stop - Kent State wins on offense, not with pitching. Let's support Enzo tomorrow.
