I’d like to see Mason come out now and bring in Wallace and PJ to close this one out. Mason will be on short rest come the AAC tourney and they need him full strength to make some noise in Clearwater.

I would would not say short rest but shorter rest for sure. The earliest UCONN will play is Tuesday with a good possibility they won't play until Wednesday. That gives him 4 or 5 days rest.
 
Another brutally high stress game. I would be surprised if we hold ECU to 2 runs the rest of the way.

That’s massive considering it’s 2-3 days less than what he usually has

Nice afternoon.

Still pissed I'm gonna miss Saturday (and I swapped into working 7-3 tomorrow so I could have Saturday off so Twitter updates only for me till after 3).

No, it is one or two days less rest. He has been getting 6 days rest between outings.

You’re missing the point. These are 18-21 year olds that don’t have the same medical staffs as the pros. Their recovery takes longer and when they’re used to 6 days rest, taking 2 away matters

Big win today over top 50 RPI East Carolina. This win currently gives UConn a 10-5 record over RPI top 50 opponents, which makes for a nice hood ornament for an NCAA at large bid. Having that 2-1 wins over losses ratio is also impressive. Also, this win means UConn will finish over .500 in the AAC regular season, an impressive hood ornament for a bid considering the strength of the AAC this season and UConn's current RPI. As always, the object of any of these conference series is to take 2 out of 3. That's a lot easier to do when you don't have to take both games of a doubleheader.

My wife tells me that Chris Jones was thinking this win clinches an NCAA at large bid. I suspect Chris Jones is right.
 
Just back from the game. Not much clutch hitting today but the pitching was really good. And the D again was really good bar the Winkel error. ECU pitchers throw to first more than any other college team I have ever seen - combined. Made it a 3+ hour game.

Overall, a win is a win and this was a Big One. Let's get at least one tomorrow.
 
Great win today. Hoping to split the double header and rest some arms for next week.
