UConn @ #5/#16 Virginia (Friday 2/19/21 @ 3p > Saturday 2/20/21 @ 1p & Sunday 2/21/20 @ 1p -- All Games streamed on ACC Network Extra/ACCNX)

[dbmill]

3 hits thru 8 innings ( 2 from Reggie)... Oof

No question, it's been a quiet day for offense.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Bases loaded and 2 outs

 

[dbmill]

Bottom 8th, Haus loads up the bases, all on walks (one intentional). Two out.

 

[dbmill]

Haus strikeout ends the inning and the threat. 4 strikeouts and 3 walks for Haus in this two inning stint.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Nice job Haus! Our bullpen should be mostly fresh the next two games....unless extras!

Rally time

 

[BaseballDog]

Newell 0-4 today... Wow

 

[BaseballDog]

Top of the order... Now or never

Bushling grounds out to start the inning. Ben Maycock to pinch hit for Stock. He is hit by a pitch.

 

[dbmill]

Pat Winkel strikes out for the second out. Kyler Fedko strikes out as well to end the game.

 

[JeannoCT]

Bummer

 

[uconnbaseball]

Way too many strikeouts today. We have team speed but we cannot use it if we do not make contact.

Try again tomorrow.

 

[BaseballDog]

I hate to complain but that last pitch was off the plate

 

[huskymedic]

 

[businesslawyer]

Tough loss. They didn't outpitch or outhit us. They did outfield us, by a lot, and that was the difference.

It's baseball, so tomorrow is another day and another chance. Obviously the UConn offense needs to get some runners on base, as they didn't do too much of that today.

Agree with above ump actually called a great game but rings up Fedko on worst call of game to win it.

Announcers were very complementary of UConn which was nice. Also thought for ACC extra they were good overall.

Figured scoring would be at a premium and out starter was just a little loose in a few spots. No moral victories and great to see baseball. Get a win tomorrow.

Yep, other than that last call of the game he called a great game.

Jim Penders opening day record now sits at 4-14

Wasn't really impressed with what I saw today. This program has a ceiling if you can't figure out a way to better manufacture runs and hit quality pitching. Felt like a predictable outcome before the first pitch was even thrown down to the final score.

? wouldn’t be a Jones/Penders post game interview w/o ambient field sounds...

Seems way too early to make a bold statement like that after 1 game against an elite team

You’re being kind. Baseball isn’t basketball or football. Thinking you can learn anything from a 1-run road loss to a team with realistic expectations of making the CWS is mind numbingly stupid
