Opening Weekend vs. UMass Lowell in Port St. Lucie

[dbmill]

CJ Dandeneau in to pitch the top of the 8th.

 

[dbmill]

1-2-3 8th inning with two strikeouts for Dandeneau.

Looks like a quiet 8th inning.

 

[Baseballguy]

The freshman class has been very solid so far. I'm excited to see how they handle better competition.

 

[dbmill]

Defensive moves for the top of the 9th. Krueger goes to left field, Winkel to 1B, Gnesda out. Dandeneau stays in to pitch.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Dandeneau could be one of the most important players on this team if he keeps pitching like this. I never understood his 4.5 ERA last year considering his stuff and 4:1 strikeout to walk ratio.

7-3 win! We were not at our best but baserunning turned out to be a major positive today and the freshman continue to step up.

 

[dbmill]

Two excellent innings for CJ Dandeneau. UConn wins first game 7-3. Looking forward to Mason Feole starting the second game.

[dbmill]

2nd inning, Gnesda gets hit by a pitch, comes around to score on a Moriarty single. 1-0 UConn going into top of the 3rd. By the way, UConn batters have been taking a lot of hit by pitches.

 

[dbmill]

Three scoreless innings with three strikeouts by Feole.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, Prato got on, steals 2nd, and comes home on a two run homer by Feldstein. 3-0 UConn after 3 innings. By the way, Prato has 6 stolen bases so far in this series.

 

[dbmill]

Feole gets into some trouble in the 6th, gets out of it after allowing one run. 4-1 UConn going into the bottom of the 6th. I'm thinking we may see the bullpen in the 7th. Still, a very nice debut for the freshman pitcher. 3 hits, 3 walks, 7 strikeouts so far.

 

[dbmill]

Freshman Jacob Wallace in to pitch the top of the 7th for UConn. Throws an easy 1-2-3 inning.

[dbmill]

Feldstein makes a nice running catch for an out, then doubles up a runner to end the top of the 8th inning. Feldstein is rapidly becoming my wife's favorite player.

 

[huskymedic]

Wow... Moriarty is on fire!

 

[dbmill]

8th inning, Winkel triples, then Moriarty hits a two run homer. Freshmen are having a smashing debut weekend, literally. 7-1 Huskies.

 

[lavuuk153]

Moriarty goes yard. Willy who?

 

[dbmill]

Rossomando pitches the 9th. And it is a very quick inning for him throwing smoke.

 

[lavuuk153]

3-0 to start the year!

 

[Husky25]

Moriarty goes yard. Willy who?

Obviously, this is said partially tongue in cheek, as UM-L is basically in transition to Div 1 and Yahn is a CCBL vet and 1st team AAC. OTOH, Moriarty should get more than a utility look when Yahn is healthy.

 

[lavuuk153]

It was entirely tongue in cheek It's just nice to know we have freshman that can serve as the next man up.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Trap game tomorrow with Texas looking kinda beatable next week. Our players cannot get too amped about that game.
