Well done Mr. Coe! You did your job!

Morton and Smith having tough nights.

Morton and Smith having tough nights.

And Hyde feasting at the plate. Not what people expected coming in.

I watched Hyde play summer ball in Norwich last year. He did well at the plate in Norwich, so I thought he had a chance to continue it some in the spring season with UConn. Hyde showed a really good eye at the plate in Norwich, he drew a bunch of walks.

Coe!!!

This performance is saving the bullpen some, too.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, a scoreless inning for Coe after the leadoff hitter reached on an error, 9-7 UConn.

Yea, he is a better hitter than his stats show, would not have predicted both Morton and Smith to struggle in the same game as Hyde’s breakout, though.

Coe picked up Sears big time tonight…

 

[uconnbaseball]

Knowing Coe is done after tonight for the rest of the series, do we pitch him to start the 8th?

Coe has thrown 72 pitches so far in this game, which probably has be near his high mark of the season. Still, I would be inclined to keep him in until someone reaches base on him. I have to admit I would be concerned he may be getting a bit tired.

Whew…good job Fogell and amazing job Coe.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Simmons with a 1 out walk, and he steals 2B. Freeberger follows with a 1 out RBI single, 10-7 UConn. It's amenity time!

A double play ends the inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

An amenity! Nice job Simmons + Dom.
