RBI single by Toppa! Huge!

Biggest half inning of the game coming up here. Bottom 7, UConn leads 6-3.

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau stays in to start the bottom of the 7th.

 

[LStudfellow]

The clutch 2-out hitting today has been MONSTROUS! 6 runs, 6 2-out RBI's.

This bodes really well for the rest of this season.

 

[UConNick]

K's Wyatt looking to begin the inning on a questionable call, but as Chris Jones said, we'll take it!

 

[Guapo]

catching depth.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, two strikeouts for Dandeneau, Phillips throws out a base stealer to end the inning.

 

[kris1]

The catching position is a huge strength!!!

 

[dbmill]

Winkel 2 run homer!!!! 8-3 UConn.

 

[UConNick]

Holy crap that was smoked. Absolute no doubter off the bat.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Fun game. First sight of trouble though, go Wallace.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom of the 8th, Dandeneau stays in. Gardner warming up.

 

[4in16]

All 3 umps are getting their fair share from the crowd and coaches lol.

 

[HawkHusky]

CJ putting in the work. Amazing job.

 

[HawkHusky]

Wallace time?

 

[dbmill]

Dandeneau gets the first two batters, 2 batters get on, Chase Gardner comes in to face a lefty hitter.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Get an out here, and game is over.

If we don't I would go Wallace.

 

[dbmill]

Gardner gives up a walk to load the bases, Wallace coming in.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Gardner rusty to start the year...cannot afford to give up baserunners via a walk.

 

[Guapo]

hahahahahahaha

 

[dbmill]

Batter leans into pitch, gets hit, goes down as a strikeout for Wallace to end the inning. Second time this series the Louisville hitter has been called out getting hit by a pitch.

 

[UConNick]

wow that's pretty funny

 

[uconnbaseball]

Huge! We will take the out however we can get it!
