Cincinnati @ UConn - 4/28 @3p, 4/29 @1p & 4/30 @12p

[dbmill]

Prato has been struggling with the bat since coming back from the injury. He's part of a 1-2-3 5th inning for the Husky bats. Meanwhile, Chris Jones sees lightning off in the distance, with some rain starting to fall.

 

[dbmill]

Montgomerie leaves two runners stranded on the bases in the 6th, closing the inning with his 9th strikeout of the day, which is also number 2oo in his UConn career.

There it is! Wills strikes out his 9th batter of the game and becomes the 10th Husky to reach 200 career K's! #HookC

 

[huskymedic]

I know beggars should't be choosy but bases loaded no outs and we can only manufacture one run... yeesh.

End 6: Tyler Gnesda drives a sacrifice fly to RF to plate Yahn from 3B! #UConn 2, Cincinnati 0

 

[uconnbaseball]

Good outing by Montgomerie but we are in big trouble here in the 7th. Poulin has got to do something herem

 

[ATLDYKA]

Their giving us an out and Poulin uncorks a wild pitch.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Poulin continues to be brutal and walks the first batter he sees.

 

[huskymedic]

 

[ATLDYKA]

And follows that up with a walk.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Cincy pops up for out number one.

 

[huskymedic]

Well done PJ, well done! Build that confidence!

 

[ATLDYKA]

I tip my cap to Poulin. He did a nice job to bounce back.

 

[uconnbaseball]

As infuriating as this team can be, I cannot imagine what the Cincy board is like when their team loads the bases with no one out. They almost never score.

 

[huskymedic]

Heading into today... Go Bulls/Pirates/Tigers

That's a wrap! We take game three and the series 2-1!

>Aaron Hill leadoff single

w-what...? Nice job.

 

[uconnbaseball]

...and then Aaron does that. YOU CANNOT BE SERIOUS

 

[dbmill]

Poulin has been a much better pitcher of late, pretty much starting with that 5 inning start. Before that, it never seemed that he could get out of any trouble.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Hill just needs to ride the pine. Senior cannot make that mistake.

 

[ATLDYKA]

And that would have been your insurance run.

 

[huskymedic]

Clown show @ times...

 

[Fantana]

I don't want to crap on Aaron hill but he has had too many errors and mind boggling mental lapses. I will take my chances with freshman than see a senior who gets picked off while in scoring position in the last month of his career.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice job Poulin, again!

Mid 8: Poulin records a 1-2-3 8th inning. Yahn, Susi and Feldstein due up

 

[dbmill]

1-2-3 8th inning for Poulin. Every year it seems that a seldom used younger pitcher emerges late in the season and starts to pitch at a much higher level. Could we be seeing that this year with PJ?

 

[huskymedic]

Yahn scores on FC DP 3-0.

 

[dbmill]

UConn picks up a run in the 8th when Feldstein hits into a double play. 3-0 with UConn still up. Willy Yahn has scored all three UConn runs today.

I expect that Poulin will at least start the 9th inning since Russell is not available today.

 

[huskymedic]

Sad trombone day for Hill...

 

[ATLDYKA]

Sad trombone day for Hill...

Rather see the freshmen playing. Better offensively and don't think we lose that much defensively. Tired of waiting for Hill's late season hot streak.

 

[huskymedic]

T9: Away we go. Runners on corner - no outs

Edit - Sac fly to right 3-1 w/ 1 out followed by errant pick off throw. Runner @ third. 1 out

 

[dbmill]

Poulin having problems in the 9th, throws away a pick off throw allowing that runner to advance.
