Figured whoever got the start today would be something of a surprise. In no particular order, kind of figure other guys who could see time out of the pen would include Garrett Coe, Brady Afthim, and Jack Sullivan. We'll see how it all goes.

Top 1st, freshman Braden Quinn with a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts to end the inning.

Chris Jones says Kevin Ferrer was injured in yesterday's game, an oblique injury.

 

[HCCForever]

I don't know much about Braden but saw that his battery mate in High School as well as today's starting catcher was Matt Garbowski.

Bottom 1st, Stock with a 1 out 2 run homer to make it 2-0 UConn.

 

[Tmill15]

Stocks are up once again! 2 run blast! 2-0 UConn lead!

Top 2nd, with bases loaded and no out, a sac fly makes the score 2-1 UConn. UConn manages to get out of the inning with no more runs coming in, getting a couple of oddball outs to help them out.

Braden Quinn will need to re-prove himself after this outing

UConn loads the bases with 1 out, a 2 out infield throwing error brings in 2 more runs to make it 5-1 UConn.

Top 3rd, Quinn with a scoreless inning. 5-1 UConn. Quinn is at 45 pitches, we'll see how much longer he goes.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Bushling with a leadoff homer, 6-1 UConn.

 

[Tmill15]

Bushling stays hot!! Solo shot makes it 6-1!

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Garrett Coe is in to pitch for UConn.

Coe faces the minimum with the help of a double play after giving up a leadoff walk. Coe threw 10 pitches that inning.

[HCCForever]

Batting fifth agrees with him.

Bottom 4th, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Coe gets the first 2 outs, then allows a single. Brendan O'Donnell coming in to face a lefty hitter. Ryan Hyde comes in to take over the catching spot. Chris Jones speculating Garbowski's throwing shoulder is bothering him, as he has had trouble with it through the course of this season.

O'Donnell with a wild pitch, then a strikeout to end the inning. 6-1 UConn.
