Padilla follows up a double with a 2 run blast! 4-0!

 

[Bomber36]

Yes!

 

[CL82]

LOL that was a prescient call by the announcer that Padilla was due. Two run homer. Connecticut 4-0

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Bushling gets to 2B on an outfield error with no outs. Pitching change for Xavier. Lynch coming in, one of their top guys out of the bullpen.

Stock with a 1 out rbi single, 5-0 UConn.

Bottom 2nd, Simmons with a leadoff double off the wall. Padilla follows with a no out 2 run homer. 4-0 UConn.

 

[Tmill15]

Bryan Padilla welcome to the tournament!!!!

 

[Bomber36]

Bryan Padilla…

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, UConn loads the bases with 1 out, as Xavier is definitely having fielding problems today. Nothing more comes of it, 5-0 UConn.

Bottom 2nd, Bushling gets to 2B on an outfield error with no outs. Pitching change for Xavier. Lynch coming in, one of their top guys out of the bullpen.

Stock with a 1 out rbi single, 5-0 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Two singles to start the inning, then more good defense by the huskies to turn a double play. 1 on, 2 out in the top of the 3rd.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, First 2 Xavier batters reach on singles, then a double play where Bushling steps on 3B and gets the runner going to 2B gets UConn out of a lot of potential trouble. Donlan then ends the inning picking off a runner at 1B. Play being reviewed. Play is upheld, UConn up 5-0 going to the bottom of the 3rd.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Enzo + good defense = a recipe for success. A great snap throw by Donlan gets us out of that inning with no damage.

 

[Bomber36]

Great defense!

[dbmill]

By the way, appreciate everyone's posting efforts while I was away the last couple games. Especially on Thursday, when we were really running around and had no real opportunity to listen to the game.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, UConn goes down in order. It will be interesting to see how long Lynch can go, especially since he pitched on Friday against Creighton. 5-0 UConn.

 

[ATLDYKA]

They are desperately short on pitching. Let's stop doing them favors by swinging at pitches up around the eyes.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Xavier with a quick 2 run shot to make this a 5-2 game.

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, Xavier with a no out 2 run homer. 5-2 UConn.

 

[Bomber36]

Wow, Franzoni is a beast.

 

[dbmill]

Wow, Franzoni is a beast.

Xavier is certainly another Big East team that can hit the ball and hit it hard.

 

[huskyblooz]

They’re squaring up Enzo last few innings

 

[dbmill]

Top 4th, following a double and a fly out for the first out of the inning, Stefanoni comes out of the game. Garrett Coe takes the mound.

Coe strands the runner at 2B, getting 2 outs including a strikeout to end the inning. 5-2 UConn.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Coe gets us out of the jam. Still 5-2.

 

[Bomber36]

That was a blind ump call. Misses the easy one….then gives it back.

 

[HookC22]

Sheesh. This umpire is struggling.

 

[Tmill15]

I can’t believe the ump called that pitch a ball, even the hitter turned away towards the dugout. Donlan tossed the ball towards the mound

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 4th, UConn batters go down in order. 5-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Top 5th, Coe with a 1-2-3 inning with 2 strikeouts, he now has 3 strikeouts in this relief stint. 5-2 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 5th, UConn offense strands a runner at 3B. 5-2 UConn.

Like I said before, we'll see how far Lynch can go. He has been the go to guy out of the Xavier pen all season. Chris Jones is full of praise for the guy.
