Men Opening Weekend @ 2026 MLB Desert Invitational in Scottsdale Arizona. Game 1 - Friday 2/13/26 v. Nebraska @8p ET on MLB Network/MLB.com & MIXLR


Yeah that would be my guess. Then I was thinking Chase Taylor or Chris Polemeni for the last OF spot with Steve Thomas or Peyton Jemison DHing.

1. Rispoli SS
2. Menzel 2B
3. Minick CF
4. Dalena 3B
5. Marshall 1B
6. Watcher LF
7. Lane C
8. Thomas/ Jemison Dan Hurley
9. Polemeni/ Taylor RF

I think it will be Thomas filling the Dan Hurley and Polemeni filling out the other corner OF spot.

Let me know what you guys would change if anything. I’m ready for the season to begin!!!
I was pretty close! Spot on with the first 7! Let’s get a win!!
 
Interesting that last year's Friday night guy is the #3. Also, I love the fact that we now have 4 named starters. We have had that in our good NCAA runs. I look forward to some great starting pitching and timely hitting.
I must have missed it, who is the 4th?

Bottom 1st, West hits the 1st batter he faces, and walks a batter with 2 outs. A single drives in a run, game tied at 1, runners on the corners.

Another walk loads the bases. A 2 out double drives in 3 runs. 4-1 Nebraska.

West gets his 2nd strike out of the inning for the final out of the inning. 4-1 Nebraska.

Top 2nd, the UConn offense has a scoreless inning after a leadoff walk by Lane. 4-1 Nebraska.
 
Gonna need to score quite a lot to win today. The bottom of the order will need to do better next time around.
 
Bottom 2nd, With 1 out West loads the bases with 2 walks with a single in between the walks. A run scores on a ground out for the 2nd out. 5-1 Nebraska.

A strikeout ends the inning. The way West is going I can't imagine he will last long on the mound tonight.
 
Top 3rd, the UConn offense has a scoreless inning after a 1 out double by Minick. 5-1 Nebraska.

Chris Jones said he did interviews with the coaches about the players on the team earlier in the week prior to the start of the season, but had technical problems that prevented him from posting the interviews.

Not sure, but it might have been caused by the weather.

Bottom 4th, after the bases get loaded with 2 outs including a hit by pitch, West comes out of the game. Charlie Hale takes the mound.

Hale gets a ground out to end the inning with no runs coming in. 5-1 Nebraska.
