Cmon offense. Can’t hold these FSUcks hitters down for long

 

[FfldCntyFan]

A couple questions:

1 - How long can Aftim go?
2 - Do we have any bullpen arms for tomorrow?

 

[willie99]

Phew - escaped another one.

Here's the Matt Malcolm HR from the 9th:

The belly rub was the best part of it

 

[ScottVib]

nice piece of hitting for FSU there.

 

[ScottVib]

2 - Do we have any bullpen arms for tomorrow?

Probably not that they trust, unless they think Cooke has figured out how he was tipping his pitches AND he can come back on short rest.

 

[ScottVib]

welp

 

[WrenchFan69]

Shocked it took that long. Impressive late season performance gents. Hopefully we're better next year

 

[greenday61892]

Yeah with how they've been hitting in extras that is very likely game

 

[BugsyCT]

Can't give those hitters that many chances.

 

[Rdkid]

Afthim gave Huskies 3 shots.

 

[huskymedic]

 

[WrenchFan69]

8-9-top, theoretically you've got a shot. Gonna need a special performance

 

[Rdkid]

Hardest outs to get are the last 3

 

[ScottVib]

11 HR for Florida State in two games is crazy.

 

[huskymedic]

 

[CL82]

Well, it's been a heckuva season. I don't think anyone of us could've expected us to go this far. We had our chances though.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Impressive for a Northeast team to make a super regional. Doing it 2 out of 3 years is incredible. Unfortunately, this is our ceiling, but there's no shame in that

 

[MKH2317]

Round of applause for the Huskies, what a great game. They never quit and kept battling. The better team won, but what an effort for the last game of the season. Let’s get em next year!

 

[jrazz12]

It’s the hope that kills you.

Losing to those clowns hurts but what an effort all around and definitely exceeded expectations after a terrible start to the season. A few tweaks in the offseason, some more consistent bats, beef up the pen, and we go again next year.

 

[Rich]

Better team won. What can you do.

 

[WrenchFan69]

Losing to those clowns hurts

Those clowns are so, so much better than us at baseball

 

[rich1122]

We were a bubble team.

Who woulda thunk in April.

Had 3 shots. Quinn Afthim gave us hope.

Who is this Finn kid. Can we work on his control?

On to football

 

[CTBballfan243]

Congratulations to the Huskies, another good year by the best collegiate baseball team in the Northeast.

 

[scotty0330]

Impressive run for this group. Really overachieved as there is not much high end talent anywhere in this roster. Think Penders needs to step up recruiting. Having some hard nose D3 guys are not bad but can’t have a roster full of them if you are gonna speak about Omaha with any sense of reality. Just not enough depth, relied on same few guys while there are a dozen or so that contributed too little or in some cases almost nothing over course of season. Loss stings but coaching staff is too good to not figure it out and come back again.

[BugsyCT]

Very tough to be the road team in these Super Regionals. You're playing a better team in their ballpark with raucous fans and have to beat them twice. At least they fought hard today after yesterday's disaster, and they had their chances in the last 3 innings to walk it off.

 

[Rdkid]

Great season mainly because they stuck together and came up big in the NCAAs. Breaking through the Supers requires lots of breaks or playing near-perfect baseball competing against programs that are/will be spending seven figures on NIL. Always proud of this program - winners in every way!
NIL for baseball goes right to paying players school/living expenses. Like funding extra scholarships - and baseball is short with 11.7 allowed. Program is doing tons with less and delivering results. Worth your hard earned cash.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Our recruiting class for next year looks really solid. We have had teams in the past with high end talent (2010, 2022) that could have taken this FSU team. This year’s team was not one of them.

 

[Vowelguy]

Thank you to NCSt for giving an even bigger beat down to host Georgia today.

 

[Bomber36]

It was a nice ride and another fun season.
