Bottom 5th, First 2 UConn batters draw no out walks. With 1 out Studley with a fielders choice ground out to drive in a run, 6-4 UConn.
 
Top 6th, Hofstra with a leadoff double. Coe gets a ground out for the first out of the inning, then comes out of the game. Fogell comes in to pitch with a runner on 3B. A 1 out single brings in a run, 6-5 UConn. Fogell gets the next 2 outs to end the inning.

We are into the meat of our pen. No need to hold back with Butler on deck.

Getting late into the game, have to think that none of the big relievers are going to go long enough to really put them out of the Butler series.
 
Top 7th, Fogell leaves 2 runners on base, a nice defensive play by Daniels. 7-5 UConn. Fogell at 31 pitches, will be interesting to see if he stays in for the 8th inning.
 
Some of these singles are on really good pitches. Nothing you can do except to field the ball and avoid freebies. When you do that, with our offense's ability to put up runs in a hurry, it makes life on teams like Hofstra and Rutgers very difficult.

Top 8th, Devin Kirby comes in to pitch. After a leadoff hit by pitch, a 1 out RBI single makes the score 8-6 UConn. A wild pitch puts the runner at 2B. After Kirby gets a strikeout for the 2nd out, he comes out of the game, and Justin Willis comes in to pitch.

Hofstra is pretty good. Nice read by the baserunner to tag up on the Morton fly ball to put himself in scoring position & come around on the single. Their pitching stinks but if they can get a couple transfers or recruits they might challenge Northeastern and UNC Wilmington next year.

Still a game we should win.
 
Top 8th, a 2 out single brings in a run, the hitter reaches 2B on the throw, 8-7 UConn. A ground out ends the inning with no more runs coming in.
 
3 outs away and their bottom of the order will come up next inning. Feeling pretty good but an amenity or 3 would be nice.

Hofstra is currently at 118 in the RPI, not bad at all, especially for a midweek game. Wonder if UConn will try to get them on the schedule for next season as well.
 
Bottom 8th, Dalena with a 1 out walk. Garbowski pinched hit for Hyde, he gets a single, a throwing error allows Dalena to score and Garbowski to advance to 2B. 9-7 UConn.

Of course, Garbowski takes over at catcher.
 
Willis has been fantastic since the SDSU game months ago.

Nice win today. Butler isn't as good on offense as Hofstra so it's a good opportunity for our starting pitching to gain confidence.

A great midweek win for the Huskies especially with Hofstra at 118 in the live RPI. Could definitely see the Pride as an NCAA Tournament team so that’s a quality win for sure. Great resilient performance
 
Good win. Nice night up at Doug. Coe steadied team after a shaky start from sully. Offense continues to rake and nice to continue to see freshman do their part.
