Opening Weekend in Georgia



>>Notes

Troy Stefanski collected his second three-hit performance of his career (vs. William and Mary at Northridge, Calif., March 11, 2016).

The Huskies hit three home runs in a game for the first time since 2016.

Michael Woodworth, Christian Fedko and Vinnie Palliscoall recorded their first hits in a UConn Husky uniform.

Joe Simeone (relief) and Andy Hague (pinch-runner) also made their UConn debuts.

UConn is 53-67-2 all-time in season openers.<<
 
On the flip side: UCF took out #15/19 UVA and USF took out #6 UNC.

Holy Cross beats #24 Houston 3-2.

Per the team's Twitter account, Willy Yahn is on the call with Chris Jones.

Noice!

Listened to the game today. I'm usually not a fan of drop in guests as announcers, but in this case my wife and I thought Willy Yahn did quite well on the WHUS broadcast today. Of course, it helps when you have Chris Jones around to help you out.
 
Another year a whole bunch of cameos in chris jones post gamer with coach. Semisonic, a couple hammers and the wind make an appearance. Lawnmower still to come later this year.

The hits were there which is a good sign for a young team. A little surprised to give up 7 runs in a Tim Cate started game. As penders says best thing about a lot of openers is that there is a second game the next day. A couple more hits strung together tomorrow and hopefully a W follows.

Hook c is back regardless and that is a great thing.

I like the interviews, the problem as you indicate is that usually at some point the background noise always seems to drown out Penders and Jones at some point. And yes, I'm always waiting for some vehicle to drive by.

Fedko and Phillips into the lineup today, Winkel and Pallisco out. Expect to see a lot of movement of players in and out of the lineup outside of the Core 4 of Susi, Prato, Feldstein, and Toppa, especially during the early part of the season. If you want to stay in this lineup, hit like Stefanski did yesterday.

2nd inning, UConn batters go down in order. Feole in the bottom of the inning, hits a batter, but otherwise easily retires the side, picking up his second strikeout of the game.
 
Top 3rd, Stefanski single drives in Moriarty who had singled and advanced to 3B on an error. 1-0 UConn.
 
Through 4 innings, 1-0 UConn. Feole so far has allowed no hits, 2 walks, 1 hit by pitch, and has 3 strikeouts.
 
The offense is still struggling I see :(

Feole is such a beast, he might get the attention next year that Cate is getting now.

Feole struggles in the bottom of the 5th. Allows the first hit of the game off him which drives in a run for Georgia State. Game now tied 1-1.
 
6th inning Feldstein single drives in Woodworth. 2-1 UConn. Runners on 1st and 3rd, 1 out. Georgia State is making a pitching change.
 
Still 6th inning, freshman Christian Fedko welcomes the Georgia State reliever with a double, driving in Prato. 3-1 UConn. Still 1 out. Thad Phillips single drives in two runs, 5-1 UConn.
 
Moriarty HBP loads the bases for Thad Phillips. Let’s break this one open.
 
Another pitching change for Georgia State. 5-1 UConn, 1 out, bases loaded after Stefanski singles.

Looks like Stefanski might be sticking in the lineup as well.

Double play ends the inning.

Ya know Spring is coming when you can just kick back and listen to CJ talk about UConn Baseball...
