Men #25 UConn v. URI Rams (Friday 3/25/22 @3p @Elliot Ballpark, Saturday 3/26/22 @1p @Bill Beck Field & Sunday 3/27/22 @1p @Elliot Ballpark).

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, UConn goes down quickly in order. UConn hitters with 6 strikeouts so far. No score.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Gallagher strands 2 runners on base (a walk and a Padilla error). No score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Padilla's glove has not been great in the actual games; could open up more time for Brown if Padilla stops hitting.

That Padilla / Brown slot could be the X factor for this year's team. We could really use one of them being an above average starter if we have dreams of Omaha.

Pat gets around the danger anyway. 0-0 still, hit the ball.

Another thing to factor into the Padilla/Brown question of playing time is Zach Bushling, who I believe is better off defensively in the infield if he is not at shortstop.

Top 4th, UConn goes down 1-2-3. No score.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Getting no hit through 4. Not much to say. We won't be ranked next week if we drop this one, even if we beat them by 20 again tomorrow.

 

[huskymedic]

Clutch...

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, URI loads the bases with no outs on 3 singles. Gallagher gets out of it with 2 strikeouts and a fly out. No score. Gallagher at 61 pitches, and has 8 strikeouts on the game.

 

[uconnbaseball]

We escape a bases loaded, no outs jam! This can easily be a momentum boost for our offense if we have quality at bats.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Padilla with a 2 out triple for the first UConn hit of the game. Garbowski with an rbi single to make it 1-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, URI with 4 runs so far, including a home run. 4-1 URI.

 

[huskymedic]

Bottom 5th, URI with 4 runs so far, including a home run. 4-1 URI.

Bush, Stock and Huber coming up for the UConn.

 

[huskymedic]

Erik Stock solo shot to right field w/ 1 out in the T6. 4-2 Rams

 

[Tmill15]

Cutting into the lead! Gotta shut them down and get some runs

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Gallagher on the mound to start the inning, figure it will be his last inning, he starts at 82 pitches.

Gallagher with a quick 1-2-3 inning.

Shutdown inning for Gallagher. Still 4-2. Gallagher not his sharpest but still has 11k’s

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, UConn offense strands a runner at 2B. 4-2 URI.

 

[huskymedic]

Brendan O’Donnell in for Gallagher to start the B7. O’Donnell gets the first batter to ground out and is replaced by Hector Alejandro.

 

[dbmill]

O'Donnell gets a batter out, Alejandro coming in to pitch. O'Donnell being used as a lefty specialist at this point.

Pitching change for URI to start the 8th… UConn down 5–2.

 

[scotty0330]

Oh boy this seems to happen more often than not the offense goes bananas one game and is silent the next.

 

[dbmill]

Solo home run off of Alejandro, 5-2 URI going to the top of the 8th.

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense, Huskies got their first walk of the game that inning. They got 11 walks yesterday.
