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.

Wurster will see time. Penders is not going to spend time with relievers he does not trust in this one unless they get a huge lead. And even then, you never know.

Not the best baserunning there.

All of a sudden JP got conservative @ 3rd. Kids were rolling. It happens.

Extend the lead and see if Coe can give you an inning??

Coe threw 60 or so pitches on Thursday night, not sure about his availability.

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.

 

[uconnbaseball]

RBI groundout for Stock, 7-1

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, bases loaded and 1 out for UConn. RBI fielders choice for Stock. 7-1 UConn. Runners on the corners with 2 out.

 

[UConNick]

This would be massive BS, he literally just slid into second

e: good they got it right

 

[uconnbaseball]

WHAT THE **** ARE THE UMPS DOING

 

[uconnbaseball]

“Some more amenities”

I see you Jones.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones just used the magic word "amenities".

 

[Bomber36]

clowns...

 

[scotty0330]

Do you go wurster Crawford after this??

 

[HookC22]

Where did that miss?

...it didn't

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, 1 out and 2 on base, Wurster coming in to pitch.

In past post season tournaments, when the UConn closer comes in early, he never leaves until the game is done for good or bad. Remember that when thinking about Crawford possibly coming in. And it isn't as if Crawford has a ton of pitching experience as well.

 

[Bomber36]

Umps doing their level best to get Xavier back in it.

 

[HookC22]

Oh boy

 

[NEforceUConn]

Rather quick hook?

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Wurster is greeted by a 2 rbi double to make it 7-3 with 1 out.

 

[Bomber36]

When you get a walk instead of a strike out, these things happen. Thanks ump.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones talking about the shrinking strike zone, but says it is going that way for both teams.

 

[dbmill]

Top 6th, Wurster with a strikeout and a pop out to end the inning. 7-3 UConn. Still a lot of time to go with depleted bullpens.

 

[Bomber36]

Phew

Don't love going to Wurster that early, really backs them into a corner if his pitch count gets up there. But may not have been any better option and I trust Penders

You watch UConn baseball long enough, and this happens with just about every closer UConn has when it comes to the last game in a postseason tournament weekend. They end up going a long way, and it is the Penders way. Penders is not going to put in someone on the mound in a situation like this who has not earned his trust. You just got to hope Wurster can ride it out.
