Top 2nd, Ellisen gives up a 1out double. A 2 out triple drives in a run, 2-1 St. John's.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Why are we sac bunting in the 2nd inning. This will not be a low scoring game

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 2nd, Root has a leadoff single, he moves to 2B on a sac bunt for the 1st out by Padilla. A 2 out RBI single by Rispoli ties the game at 2.

Shpur gets hit by a pitch. 2 runners are left on base.

When I'm named emperor of baseball a sac bunt attempt will lead to a lifetime ban from the sport

Bottom 2nd, Root has a leadoff single, he moves to 2B on a sac bunt for the 1st out by Padilla. A 2 out RBI single by Rispoli ties the game at 2.

Shpur gets hit by a pitch. 2 runners are left on base.

 

[dbmill]

Top 3rd, after a leadoff single followed by a walk, Ellisen has a scoreless inning with help from catches by Shpur. Game tied at 2.

Ellisen has thrown 54 pitches so far, it will be interesting to see how long he stays in the game, especially with Cooke and Afthim likely not available to pitch in the game today.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 3rd, a 2 out single by Dougherty and a walk by Root. Padilla follows with an RBI single that puts runners on the corners. 3-2 UConn.

Padilla steals 2B. 2 runners are left on base. 3-2 UConn.

 

[businesslawyer]

Sure, nothing you said is wrong. But you'd have to agree it's pretty crazy to complain about this team's hitting

That I agree with

 

[ATLDYKA]

There's the Padilla we know come late May.

There's the Padilla we know come late May.

Top 4th, Ellisen gives up a leadoff solo homer that ties the game at 3.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Why anyone scouting us would not give us a large dose of off speed is beyond me. We are killing the fast ball

 

[huskymedic]

Must be dog-walking time… UConn up 7-3 heading to 5th:

 

[huskymedic]

Shaw replaces Ellisen and there is an elusive shutdown inning:

 

[huskymedic]

Take a bow Mr. Minnick!!



11-3 UConn after 5

 

[dbmill]

My wife isn't home right now, so I had to take care of our new puppy who was at day camp today. Wow, looks like I missed some good action by UConn while I was dealing with our puppy.

Because so many of these kids can’t command their breaking ball. And forget about feel for a change.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, a 1 out triple by Root. Padilla follows with an RBI double, 12-3 UConn.

 

[HookC22]

I’m getting greedy and would love a run rule victory to save some pitching.

 

[ATLDYKA]

Do I dare say pull Shaw and let some lesser pitch guys throw to save arms?

 

[dbmill]

In the past, mercy rules have been in effect during conference tournaments that UConn has been in. If UConn gets some more runs, we will see if the mercy rule takes over. That would be after 7 innings have been played.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 6th, a 1 out triple by Root. Padilla follows with an RBI double, 12-3 UConn.

Padilla moves to 3B on a ground out for the 2nd out. Rispoli gets a 2 out RBI single. 13-3 UConn.

 

[ATLDYKA]

I’m getting greedy and would love a run rule victory to save some pitching.

Is it 10 run after 7?

 

[HookC22]

Is it 10 run after 7?

I believe so. Hopefully we find out in 3 outs.

 

[huskymedic]

There's the Padilla we know come late May.
