We have a freshman on the mound that is making a top 25 PAC-12 school look like Bassick.

 

[Tmill15]

Ian Cooke is just impressive, dude pitches with tons of confidence

Bump. Cooke just knows how to get dudes out

 

[UConnRock]

Cooke going 6 innings (maybe more) is great for the upcoming series. Bullpen will be well rested if UConn can close this out

 

[dbmill]

Top 7th, UConn goes down in order. 6-0 UConn.

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 7th, Cooke with a 1-2-3 inning, he is at 80 pitches. Wonderful performance.

Cooke is efficient and shows what happens when you pound the zone with good stuff.

Top 8th, Ben Huber with a 1 out solo homer. 7-0 UConn.

 

[CL82]

Oh man. You knew that was gone off the bat

 

[Tmill15]

And there’s the Huber power right there! Wow what a homer. 434 feet!!!

Not many young college pitchers have the control Cooke has shown so far. No walks so far, continuing the low walk trend in games for UConn pitching this season.

 

[ATLDYKA]

We thought Huber, Donlan and Padilla would all be good defensively, but man have they all been impressive offensively!!

Top 8th, Ben Huber with a 1 out solo homer. 7-0 UConn.

Bottom 8th, Cooke on the mound to start the inning. That's something considering he hasn't had any starts this season yet. Coe and Afthim have been warming in the bullpen.
