What is with Andy's walk-up song?? LOL!

Freshmen don't pick their walk up songs.

Freshmen don't pick their walk up songs.

Ah OK. That's better. For some reason I thought he was a sophomore.

 

[HawkHusky]

Really missing Prato on defense.

 

[dbmill]

Double play gets Cate out of the top of the 7th. 4-1 UConn. A successful return to the mound for Tim Cate.

Really missing Prato on defense.

Big-time. Also missing his bat.

Double play ends the inning!

 

[HawkHusky]

Good work by Cate today, especially against a very good ECU line-up.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Offense has fallen asleep. Still 4-1 going to the 8th.

 

[Baseballguy]

USF is up 7-2 on Cincy

 

[dbmill]

UConn goes down quickly in the 7th. Poulin in to pitch the top of the 8th, with lefties coming up for ECU.

This is the BIG inning...

 

[dbmill]

Packard strikes out to start the inning for the first out. UConn finally gets him out today.

 

[huskymedic]

Clutch...

... a few amenities would be nice but that would be pressing it.

 

[dbmill]

1 two out walk, but Poulin gets three outs, with 2 strikeouts. 4-1 UConn going to the bottom of the 8th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Excellent pitching in this second game today.

A few amenities leads to less agita.

 

[Baseballguy]

I’ve realized ECU hits poorly against lefties

 

[uconnbaseball]

Strong inning from Poulin, followed by a poor offensive bottom of the 8th. Still 4-1 UConn going to the 9th.

Angina time!

 

[dbmill]

Poulin stays in to start the 9th, facing another lefty, who singles.

 

[dbmill]

Ground ball to Woodworth gets the first out of the inning. Runner on 3B.

 

[dbmill]

Another ground ball to Woodworth, 2 out, runner scores. 4-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin the save, UConn the 4-2 win!!! UConn takes another series, this time against a tough ECU team. UConn can't finish lower than 3rd in the AAC, which means they will play next on Wednesday in the AAC tourney.

 

[huskymedic]

End the conference year on a high note... bang!

 

[dbmill]

With Cate back, that will definitely help out the bullpen in the AAC tourney.

Great win!!!

 

[BaseballDog]

Looks like if the USF score holds that we will be #3 playing #6 Cincinnati

 

[HawkHusky]

UC has been playing really well lately. They would be a tough out.

 

[UConNick]

Great series win! Not gonna lie, a little apprehensive about probably facing the Cincy ace again, but we've got a much stronger team on paper and just have to take care of business.

 

[uconnbaseball]

100% chance of a regional now.
