Thought a sweep was likely given out pitcher was better than theirs. Not a good game at all. These kind of errors half way through season is ugly. Get out of there with series win and take care of business in mid week.

For those not watching the game. Chase is in the dugout with a large ice-wrap on his arm. Seems in good spirits

UCONN has played poorly, but today's home-plate Ump is a complete joke.

UCONN has played poorly, but today's home-plate Ump is a complete joke.

WHUS announcers wondering if there is some sort of system for evaluating college umpires.

 

[Baseballguy]

We’ll talk it

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, WSU misplay in the field leads to two UConn runs. 7-5, 1 out, with a runner on 3B.

 

[dbmill]

Woodworth ground out brings in another run. 7-6.

 

[Baseballguy]

As unfortunate they’ve been with the umpires and as poorly as UConn has played, it’s a miracle they’re in this game

As we like to say, welcome to college baseball.

 

[dbmill]

Toppa and Prato with hits now both on base with 2 out and Susi up.

 

[dbmill]

Susi strikes out to end the inning.

 

[dbmill]

Jake Wallace in to pitch the bottom of the 7th.

 

[HawkHusky]

Just can't stop their offense today...

 

[huskymedic]

That was a tuff ball...

 

[dbmill]

2 runs in for Wichita State, 2 out with the bases loaded. Joe Simeone coming in.

 

[HawkHusky]

We screeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwed!

Not sure why we tend to classify Poulin and Wallace as 1A and 1B of our bullpen. As far as I'm concerned you can throw them all in a hat, one day their great, one day they stink. Have to have someone stand out down the stretch and become more consistent.

UConn has been fortunate that WSU bats were fairly quiet Friday
I really thought there was a great chance for a sweep today but a 2-1 series weekend win is nice - now UConn has to take care of weekday biz

Right now UConn has a bigger problem with all the injuries to pitchers. I can see a lot off pitchers getting more time on the mound than they should with all the injuries. The Huskies don't have that many bodies that they can go to.

13-6 WSU.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Avery Santos makes his mound debut for UConn.

 

[huskymedic]

Oey - that was painful all around!

Pack up the dugouts, knock off the dirt, get pretty and go have a nice team dinner after a nice series win against a ranked team on the road - then refocus and take out the UMass duo Tuesday/Wednesday.

 

[Baseballguy]

Next week could get very dicey. With Cate on the mend and Gardner possibly out, Penders will have to pitch the midweeks with the weekend in mind
