We just got screwed! Penders tossed out of game. Ferriter was safe at third and would have been 2nd and 3rd with just 1 out

JP snapped - no ramp up. Right to full throttle- rightfully!

Great effort... putting the Madonna in the window facing south!

Rally caps!

Yavarone scores in the top of 12th!

What are you saying? Yes he tagged him on the elbow, but before or after the hand hit the bag? I thought the play was a lot closer than the ESPN3 announcers said it was and I'd hate to have to make a call on that one, but I could have seen it go either way.

Sorry - thought he was clearly safe. Third baseman sold it though...

Got it ... at least Penders had just as good a view at it as the ump ... and he certainly didn't hesitate to protest!

YES!!!!

Huge... UConn baseball ends Louisville's 16-game winning streak, knocking off the top-seeded Cardinals 3-2 in 12 innings at Big East tournament.

WOOOOOOOOOOO

 

[ATLDYKA]

Huge win for this team. Way to come up big in a big situation.

 

[Jerry27]

thats a big win! way to close it out!

 

[dbmill]

Great pitching today, both starting from Cross, and relief from Mahoney and Butler. UConn is alive and dancing in the Big East tourney. Have to think Louisville is in shock.

 

[ATLDYKA]

I missed the 12 inning. How did we get our run?

 

[huskymedic]

Ferriter two out single to center to score Yavarone from second.

If memory serves, Yavarone singled, Paul sacrificed him to second, Verdi grounded out with Yavarone holding at second, Ferriter singled, driving in the run.

Thanks, I watched the entire game but earlier in the day promised to take the kids out for ice cream since today was last day of school and after the top of the 11th I said oh well have to go and what a great surprise to come back to. Got back in time to see us slapping each other high fives and was shocked that we had pulled it out.

Funny thing. A lot of times this year while listening to the games I could feel the dread just coming on, feeling something was going to go wrong. Not this game. The feeling was different, one of confidence for the team, especially after UConn tied the game up after falling behind in the 1st inning. I don't recall UConn pitching walking anybody, so no doubt that helped contribute the feeling.

Win by UConn over Louisville ended the longest active winning streak nationally. Cards had won 16 straight. @UConnBaseball @UofLBaseball

UConn's win was the first by a No. 8 seed over a No. 1 seed in the Big East Championship since 2008 (Villanova over St. John's).

Awesome pitching performance by Cross. You guys deserved that ballgame in every way. Nicely played and good luck going forward!

 

[IMind]

Cool I should be able to watch the USF game tonight.
