Caught a break there. How that guy doesn't score from second with 2 outs. That was terrible baserunning. Bushling has to call off Donlan for that ball, much easier play for him.

UConn leaves two on base in the bottom of the 7th, we head to the 8th with Brendan O'Donnell coming onto pitch

 

[Tmill15]

O'Donnell does his job by striking out the lefty leadoff hitter as Penders goes to the righty Devin Kirby with 1 out in the top of the 8th and no one on base.

 

[Tmill15]

Kirby picks up a groundout and a strikeout on a beauty bender to end the top half of the 8th! UConn still leading 4-0

Why do that call O'Donnell Teddy?

 

[Tmill15]

Nothing for UConn in the bottom half of the 8th! Kirby staying in the top of the 9th to face 4, 5, and 6

 

[Tmill15]

UConn wins 4-0!!!!! Kirby with 3 quick outs to shut the door on a shutout!!!

Thank goodness for @huskymedic. I went to the Big East Tournament website for an update and there was nothing. I should’ve known to come here first.
