Brown making a case to be a regular

Dunlop stays on the mound for the start of the bottom of the 7th.

With Coach Penders, you have games like this, you are certainly going to get more chances to show your stuff.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Jones said Ryan Hyde is out for the season with a hip injury.

 

[dbmill]

Two walks and a single off of Dunlop, so the bases are loaded with no out in the 7th.

 

[BaseballDog]

Really don't want this game to turn into a boat race

 

[dbmill]

Ground out scores a run, makes it 7-4 with one out. Wild pitch makes it 7-5.

I have a feeling that Dunlop is good for one inning stints. We'll see how it goes as the season progresses.

Walks and falling behind in the count will kill you. Need to find strikes here.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Another walk. Just a really poor outing at the worst possible time. Bringing Wurster in.

 

[UConNick]

Would really like to hold onto this one after watching the basketball team play tough for 35 minutes only to wilt away at the end. Gonna need big time stuff from Wurster.

Tale of two innings for Colby. First inning looked very good. This inning awful.

 

[dbmill]

Wurster coming in with runners at 1B and 2B with 1 out and a 7-5 UConn lead. I imagine he will be in for the rest of the game if things go well for UConn.

 

[dbmill]

A single makes it 7-6. Runners at 1st and 2nd.

 

[uconnbaseball]

7-6...might need to score more runs today. I sometimes forget how stressful this team is. It is like riding a roller coaster for 4 hours.

 

[BaseballDog]

Big k

 

[dbmill]

Wurster strikeout for the second out. Runners at the corners.

 

[dbmill]

Passed ball ties the game at 7. Runner at 2B.

Reviewing a play here.

Our infielders forcing Crawford to grab everything on the ground is a huge problem. I miss Prato’s defense very badly.

 

[dbmill]

Game tied at 7 going to the top of the 8th.

 

[BaseballDog]

Let's get those runs back

 

[uconnbaseball]

Finally escape - that was not Caleb’s fault at all. 7-7 going into the 8th.

 

[BaseballDog]

19 pitches for Caleb in the 7th

Our infielders forcing Crawford to grab everything on the ground is a huge problem. I miss Prato’s defense very badly.

This play did not go to him, but my feeling is that Bushling is better off at 3B than at SS, where his throws often seem to be low or in the ground. I had that feeling last season as well. But if Brown grabs the 3B spot, then it might be a moot point.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Runners on first and second, Christian up. Make it happen. 2 outs

 

[uconnbaseball]

Base hit!!!! Back up!!!!!!!!

 

[dbmill]

After singles by Pat Winkel and Crawford, Christian Fedko with a two out single to drive in a run. 8-7 UConn, runners at the corners.

 

[dbmill]

Chris Winkel with a walk loads up the bases with two out. Devenney up.

 

[uconnbaseball]

Ok, redemption time!

 

[uconnbaseball]

Walk! We go up 9-7!
