St john’s is a tire fire defensively.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, UConn loads the bases with no outs, including bunt singles by Morton and Smith. Simmons with a sac fly, 2-0 UConn with runners at the corners. Padilla walks to load the bases again with 1 out. Stock with an rbi single driving in 2 more runs. 4-0 UConn.

 

[Tmill15]

2 RBI single from Stock makes it 4-0! 3 RBIs from Stock!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Some really long at bats. St johns gonna be forced into choosing between burning their best arms or effectively surrendering the game.

 

[Tmill15]

Unlucky strike 3 call on Bushling there, that looked up

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Casey Dana walks to load the bases again this inning with 1 out. Plenty of UConn traffic on the bases this inning, that's for sure, but no more scoring for UConn this inning. 4-0 UConn.

 

[hardcorehusky]

71 pitches through 2 innings for the SJU starter. We had the sacks full with 1 out when Bush struck out and Huber jumped at the 1st pitch. Bottom line, their starter is on the ropes either way and won't be out there much longer.

Conversely, Gallagher is at 30 pitches through 3 innings.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, a quick 1-2-3 inning for Gallagher. He is at 30 pitches, so the pitching efficiency continues for Gallagher.

 

[Tmill15]

Stock moved to the Dan Hurley spot, Morton out to left field

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Korey Morton uses his speed again, with a 1 out bunt single, and advances to 2B on a throwing error. Just wish he had made more use of his speed like this in Norwich summer ball last year when I saw him play quite a bit at Dodd Stadium, but I'll certainly take it now.

Morton is stranded, 4-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Gallagher with a scoreless inning after a leadoff single. 4-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Pat continues to throw strikes. If he keeps doing that, MLB scouts will really start to pour in.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, Stock with a 1 out double, Bushling drives him in with a 2 out double. 5-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Gallagher with 2 strikeouts while having a 1-2-3 inning. 5-0 UConn. Gallagher at 65 pitches and 3 strikeouts on the game.

 

[huskymedic]

Bottom 4th, Stock with a 1 out double, Bushling drives him in with a 2 out double. 5-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, Korey Morton with his third bunt single of the game, it's some weapon for him with his speed. With runners at 2nd and 3rd, Simmons with a 1 out rbi ground out, 6-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Gallagher with another 1-2-3 inning. He is at 76 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, Stock leads off with his fourth hit of the game, Dana follows with an rbi double, 7-0 UConn.

Amenities…

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, with 2 runners on base, Donlan with a 1 out rbi double, to put 2 runners in scoring position. 8-0 UConn. Morton follows with an rbi single, 9-0 UConn with runners on the corners and 1 out. Smith follows with a sac fly, 10-0 UConn.

 

[Tmill15]

I wonder if we will get a Jimmy Wang appearance today

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, another 1-2-3 inning for Gallagher. He is at 86 pitches.

 

[dbmill]

I wonder if we will get a Jimmy Wang appearance today

It's possible. I would think we will likely see some seldom used pitcher late in this game get some mound time for UConn.

 

[Viet Vet]

Frank Viola's St. Johns this is not. Embarrassing.

 

[Tmill15]

Pat Gallagher was great today, efficient, threw a lot of strikes and looked smooth throughout, great outing for him

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, with no outs, UConn loads the bases again. Bushling with a walk makes it 11-0 UConn. Huber rbi single makes it 13-0.

 

[uconnbaseball]

This is how you get the attention of pollsters. This is a much better effort than vs URI.

 

[Tmill15]

Pat Gallagher was great today, efficient, threw a lot of strikes and looked smooth throughout, great outing for him

And he's back out there for the 8th, thought he would be done considering the score

 

[huskymedic]

Good omen…

 

[dbmill]

Top 8th, Gallagher with a scoreless inning with 2 strikeouts.

Devin Kirby was warming in the pen that inning, so he may be in to pitch in the 9th.
