Close...but holy crap the backlash by the Louisville coaches fans etc the amount of swears flying around the ballpark is hilarious rn. Can't believe ump hasn't tossed anyone.

Was it the right call in your opinion?

 

[hardcorehusky]

Key in that Wyatt leads off.

Nothing going in the top of the 9th. Louisville's catcher is really good.

 

[Guapo]

Let's go win us a series, folks.

Bottom 9th, Mike Chiovitti is a defensive replacement for Kyler Fedko in right field.

 

[UConNick]

One out away...

 

[dbmill]

9th inning, 1-2-3 inning for Wallace, UConn gets the series win!! Look for UConn to get ranked next week!

 

[UConNick]

What a series win, should leave no doubt about being ranked next week.

 

[Guapo]

What a way to start the season.

What do we think we'll be ranked?

 

[huskypantz]

Wow, nice job Huskies! Huge!

 

[dbmill]

Like what we've seen out of the bullpen this series as well.

 

[HawkHusky]

Amazing. Helluva bounce back after yesterday.

Series win vs Louisville without Feole? Wow. This team is deep.

Some pleasant surprises from the pitching staff this weekend.. Wallace, as expected, did a great job. Dandeneau has stepped up and Avery Santos had 2 shut out innings today. Joe Simeone had a decent appearance that he can build off of. Jimmy Wang got his feet wet and Jeff Kersten did a great job on Friday night.

Overall, against a really good opponent, you couldn't ask for more.

We are already ranked or close to ranked in most polls. I expect a top 15 placement.

We outplayed them today. Great win, kinda glad it wasn't very close after what happened yesterday.

Onto next week!!!

 

[dbmill]

To be honest, with Feole out I never expected this series win. But wow, what a way to start a season, a northeastern team that barely practices outside taking a series against a top flight baseball program.

Dandeneau had a great summer ball season, so I expect good things from him this season. Good summary of the pitching pieces this weekend. Kenny Haus had a quality debut for the Huskies as well yesterday. I expect Gardner will have better days on the mound.

 

[uconnbaseball]

If the pen can pitch quality innings against UL, I expect less agita against New England teams.

Anyone know if they'll have video highlights at some point?

They do highlights for home games, but usually not games played away from Storrs or Hartford.
