Top 3rd, S. Quigley issues a leadoff walk followed by a no out single. With 2 out, a walk loads the bases. Quigley gets out of the jam, 2-1 Pirates.

 

[Bomber36]

Nice escape.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Quiggers gets into more trouble, but escapes. Let's go offense.

 

[AzHusky]

Happy that he went after that first pitch.

 

[dbmill]

Lol, escape artist.

Reminds me of Wills Montgomerie from a number of years ago, the ultimate escape artist. Create all sorts of trouble for himself, then get out of it.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, a scoreless inning for the UConn offense, 2-1 Pirates.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, S. Quigley retires the side in order, 2-1 Pirates. Quigley at 72 pitches, so maybe a couple more innings for him if he pitches like he did this inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Quigley starting to fire in first pitch strikes. Makes a nice difference. Wake up offense.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, UConn offense with a scoreless inning, 2-1 Seton Hall.

 

[Bomber36]

Lucky bounce prevented a tie game there.

Top 5th, S. Quigley strands a runner at 3B. 2-1 Pirates.

Bottom 5th, another scoreless inning for the UConn offense after Smith gets hit by a pitch with 1 out. 2-1 Pirates.

 

[huskymedic]

Just stay within reach…

 

[uconnbaseball]

Our outfield speed cuts down a lot of potential hits + rewards fly ball pitchers.

It's why fly ball prone teams like SDSU and FAU struggle to do much against us. Singles teams like Rutgers have a better shot of doing damage.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, S. Quigley leaves a runner on base. 2-1 Pirates. Quigley now at 98 pitches, this may have been his last inning.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Hell of a start by Quigley, holding a solid offensive team to 2 runs. He's our most reliable starter right now, at least until Cooke rediscovers his form from last year.

Bottom 6th, a 2 out walk for Padilla. Pitching change, starting pitcher comes out. Scoreless inning for the UConn offense, 2-1 Seton Hall.

Top 7th, Kirby starts the inning on the mound.

Top 7th, with 1 out, a batter reaches base on a Smith error. Kirby with a scoreless inning, 2-1 Pirates.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Daniels pinch hits for Garbowski, he gets a leadoff single, steals 2B, and moves to 3B on a sac bunt. Smith gets a 1 out rbi double, game tied at 2.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Smith with an RBI double to tie the game at 2!

 

[Bomber36]

There we go boys!

 

[huskymedic]

Smith with an RBI double to tie the game at 2!
