Our turn to chirp… let’s put them back in their place now. Step on the throats!!!

 

[dbmill]

Stock with an rbi fielders choice. 4-1 UConn with 2 out and 2 on after Pat Winkel gets hit by a pitch. Christian Fedko follows with his own rbi single to make it 5-1.

Chris Winkel rbi single, 3-1 UConn with 1 out still.

 

[HookC22]

Time to blow the doors open.

 

[lavuuk153]

Crawford should just put the nail in the coffin here.

5-1 going to the top of the 5th. One thing to worry about is not the offense, but the UConn pen. Do Willis, Wurster, and Crawford have enough pitches in their arms to carry this one out? It's going to be interesting to see.

Need to put a zero on the board right now. Start crushing their hope.

Big shutdown inning coming up, need to keep Xavier down

 

[UConNick]

How many can Willis give, is the key question right now. I’m assuming Caleb for 2. Don’t know if we can get these last 14 outs only using those two.

Remember, Wurster threw about 14 pitches yesterday. I figure Crawford is going to see some time on the mound to close this one out.

Remember, Wurster threw about 14 pitches yesterday.

Yup, hoping he’d be able to throw 30 or so. Definitely don’t think we’ll see one of those 50-60 pitch outings.

Although according to Fanta they might be doing just that.

 

[Kemba Time]

TV Broadcast just said plan is for Caleb to go the rest of the way whenever Willis is done

 

[HookC22]

“Ride Wurster to the finish line” yikes I love Caleb but that makes me nervous. When he gets tired he burns out quickly. Maybe just have Reggie ready to go.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Willis with a walk and three strikeouts for a shutdown inning. 5-1 UConn.

Problem is, with Crawford at 1B, it can be difficult for him to get him warm up time.

Riding Wurster to the finish line reminds me of some of Pat Ruotolo's outings with the Huskies.

 

[Woof 101]

Well that should shush the Debbie Doubters for a bit.

 

[BugsyCT]

That's more like it. The bats are alive now - keep it up!!

 

[dbmill]

UConn looks like they are finally getting to enjoy the Xavier bullpen offerings.

 

[huskymedic]

Top 5th, Willis with a walk and three strikeouts for a shutdown inning. 5-1 UConn.

 

[lavuuk153]

First 3 guys reach base. Please just blow this open here.

 

[lavuuk153]

Also I have concerns about going to wurster that soon so hopefully some runs here allow them to push him back an inning or two...or he’s not needed at all.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, 3 straight singles by Langer, Brown, and Bushling load the bases with no out for UConn. Kyler Fedko rbi single makes it 6-1, with Brown being thrown out on the bases.
