Double play takes care of the baserunner. 2 out in the 8th.

Double play...

Huge!!!

 

[dbmill]

Wallace strikeout ends the inning. 27 pitches for him so far.

 

[HawkHusky]

Beautiful.

 

[Baseballguy]

Bring in Trevor. A 4 run lead for the 6-7-8 guys is ideal for him. Keep Wallace pitch count low and keep PJ fresh for another game.

The offense can make this an easier decision...

And if a runner or two get on, you can bring Poulin in at that point.

Exactly. It’s almost too obvious a decision

 

[dbmill]

Poulin is warming in the pen.

Woody with a seeing eye single.

I will reiterate: the offense can make coaching this game so much easier.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Toppa gets a nice line drive center on a hit and run. 1st and 3rd, one out for UConn.

I will reiterate: the offense can make coaching this game so much easier.

And a lot less stressful for us fans.

 

[dbmill]

1 out, bases loaded with Susi up. Pops out for out number 2. Feldstein grounds out to end the inning. Poulin coming in.

 

[uconnbaseball]

And we choke away a bases loaded, 1 out situation. We all know what's coming

 

[HawkHusky]

Angina time?

 

[Baseballguy]

I’m convinced Penders thinks there is a rule that states;

a leadoff homerun in the ninth counts for 5 runs as long as the pitcher’s last name is not Wallace or Poulin

 

[HawkHusky]

Fantastic.

 

[Stainmaster]

Noooo Prato...

 

[HawkHusky]

Oh boy. Never easy.

 

[dbmill]

Double play, run scores, but 2 out.

 

[dbmill]

Poulin gets the strikeout, UConn gets the 7-4 win!!

 

[huskymedic]

Oh yee of little faith...

 

[uconnbaseball]

NEVER EASY

 

[Baseballguy]

Good win. They need to come out with urgency to avoid another win game one drop games two and three

Yeah, we were heavy underdogs in this one. In the next game, we may well be slight favorites- we need to take advantage of the momentum.

[dbmill]

Just thought I'd throw this in. D

It seems to happen every April at some point during conference play, UConn's starting catcher start to catch both games of doubleheaders, and all three games of weekend conference play.

D1Baseball.com has a weekly pick a series winner with three of its writers. All three writers of theirs picked Wichita State to win this series. No doubt they were influenced by Tim Cate not pitching this weekend.
