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.

Why do that call O'Donnell Teddy?

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.

Great interview and super kid.

Would like to see the offense pick up a little, we have too much talent to be putting up 6 hit performances vs a pitching staff like that.

Defense has been good almost all year. That continued today.

That’s a lot of baseball in a very short span for the loser of the Xavier vs Creighton game. The schedule has gotten shifted a lot in the last 12 hours or so. I would anticipate game 3 of the 2 losers will be tomorrow morning

Yup…

 

[hardcorehusky]

Win that game tomorrow afternoon and we will be in great shape. Whoever comes out the other side of the bracket will be close to spent unless they get a few great and deep starts.

Watching Xavier v Creighton. Both very solid teams, as we know. Thoughts on who we should be rooting for to win? Aka who would we rather play? Hard choice imo. Xavier’s offense scares me, and Creighton has a very solid #2 in their rotation.

I’m just hoping for a 14 inning game tonight…

100%. So far so good, 2-2 in the 6th, and Xavier into their pen.

Probably Xavier for me, they have a solid RPI and I haven't given up hope of an at large bid should things go wrong this weekend

Creighton's top pitcher and reliever both done for the weekend. Their best reliever just threw over 70 pitches.
