[dbmill]

Winkel double drives in 2 more runs to make it 5-0.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Note that Wichita has struggled this year when facing legitimate starting pitching.

 

[UConNick]

Tremendous inning. Now we need Feole to be his usual great self and we can lock up the series today.

 

[HawkHusky]

Beautiful batting.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Love the fact that Winkel is going opposite field a lot and not trying to pull everything.
Have to keep the foot on the pedal now and not go several innings with nothing as we have done before.
Also, love the fact that we seem to have a lot more folks on the board this year than previous years.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Cmon Feole, strikes D:

 

[HawkHusky]

Good thing we got that head start...

 

[uconnbaseball]

1 run comes in on a groundout.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Mason "Willis" Feole escapes the first inning with only 1 run given up.

5-1 going to the 2nd.

 

[huskymedic]

I’ll take it...

 

[dbmill]

26 pitches and 1 run for Feole that 1st inning, that is definitely Montgomerie like.

 

[uconnbaseball]

I am rather stunned that this dude had a sub 2 era coming into this game.

 

[HawkHusky]

Yuck

 

[Baseballguy]

Feldstien has to take charge there. He’s way too timid in RF

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, UConn defense rears its ugly head with 2 bad plays to make it 5-2. Feole gets the last two hitters to end the inning.

 

[HawkHusky]

Double Yuck.

 

[Baseballguy]

Mason needs to get back to throwing his changeup

 

[ATLDYKA]

We still struggle with pop ups. Fieldstein has to make that catch.
Feole still struggling with command.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Lettimg them right back into the game...Need to get out of this inning.

OK. 5-2. We need more runs as Feole might not go deep into this one.

 

[HawkHusky]

Yup. More runs will be needed.

 

[dbmill]

Wind is blowing a gale out to the outfield, so it very well could be a high scoring affair.

 

[Baseballguy]

Lots of balls have been squared up by UConn, they just aren’t finding green

Yeah, if keep this approach up we will break this kid in the 4th or 5th inning.
