Top 7th, Stefanoni with a scoreless inning. He is at 86 pitches. It wouldn't surprise me if that was his last inning, considering next weekend he will be getting a start a day early on Saturday due to Easter.

UConn certainly buried St. John's this weekend, but I have to say that with the way they played the Red Storm provided UConn with a shovel or two.

excellent. You have to win the games you're supposed to win. If we want a shot at bigger and better we need to win the BE outright.
