Some fairly feckless at-bats, seeming a bit overmatched at the plate. Could just be early-season rust.

I would think the UConn offense will improve some when Broadhurst is able to play. Still early in the season so we will see what happens.

I know he was a freshman, but this guy had a 7+ era last year…the offense has been horrible all weekend. The pitching has picked them up.

Bottom 6th, after 2 singles put runners on the corners with 2 out, S. Quigley comes out of the game. Braden Quinn comes in to pitch.

Quinn gets a ground out to end the inning with no runs coming in. 1-0 Indiana State.

I've been looking forward to Quinn getting pitching time this weekend, considering the great summer he had pitching for Danbury.
