Wow, Broadhurst saves the possibility of hosting. Huge!!

 

[Bomber36]

Credit to Butler. Scrappy bunch.

 

[Kemba Time]

Broadhurst!!!!! What a rollercoaster ride that was!!

 

[Sea Goat]

Do we need to pull Huber in late innings with a one run lead? Put him at DH or something?

Way to go, Luke! Silver Star for you!

Isn’t he a good defensive player?

Isn’t he a good defensive player?

Yes he is. No need to overreact to one bad inning today

 

[CtBaseball]

He’s a phenomenal fielder. Maybe a bit rusty from time on the DL but he is one of the best fielding 1Bs I’ve seen in my years of watching d1 ball.

That was a well struck hit down the line… we need him in he is fine ….

Bottom 9th, Huber with a 1 out walk, Drew Kron pinch runs, probably due to Huber's recent injury. Broadhurst with a 2 run homer to win the game for UConn!!!

Broadhurst!!!!! What a rollercoaster ride that was!!

 

[Tmill15]

Luke Broadhurst. The hero!!! Another series win!!!

 

[Bomber36]

I thought so as well…that would have been a very good play, had he made it. He kept it from going down the line so he did save a base or 2 there.

He’s good at that hero stuff.

These games are fun but I could use a 16-0 beatdown tomorrow!

You got that right!

 

[Bomber36]

They de-shirted Luke. That was pretty funny.

These wins against bottom feeders are killing our RPI. Down again. The one, and only, UConn program hurt by leaving the AAC for the Big East (aka Least in baseball).

I thought he was the complete package, but when we're up by one heading into the last inning maybe a defensive change?

Huber just missed 9 games w/ plantar fasciitis. Yesterday was his first game back - he has a .983 Fielding % before today. He has saved more errors than he has committed over the past two years.

If there is someone better at fielding that position on this team, I suppose Coach would. I don’t think there is. Plus, you give up that bat if you go bottom 9 or extras.

Not liking that change … he is back need his offense, defense and leadership. One play he stopped from going down right field line for a double… .983 fielding % at first. We won!

Much prefer these wins against teams like this rather than losses. The worst teams in MLB frequently beat the best teams. This is college baseball. Congratulations to UConn for a gutsy win over a team that wouldn't quit.

Of course wins trump losses. That doesn't mitigate the fact that wins hurt the RPI.
